Four hundred years ago Galileo discovered that specifically weighted floating bubbles would predictable rise or sink in a liquid as the temperature of that liquid is changed. These decorative glass reproductions of Galileo's discovery have glass floats precisely weighted 6 gram increments suspended in a clear, environmentally safe, non-toxic liquid. Simply read the tag on the lowest floating bubble to read the temperature: The 21 inch measures every 4 degrees from 60 F to 96 F and is accurate to within 2 degrees with ten floats. An accurate indoor thermometer encased in brilliant glass, the Galileo is the point at which art meets science.
