Starfield snow globe locations: How to find New York, London, the Apollo moon landing site, and more
If you're on the hunt for Starfield snow globes we can point your spaceship in the right direction. Starfield has a series of quests that take you to landmarks on the ruins of planet Earth, the moon, and even Mars, and each quest lets you walk away with a souvenir snow globe, a great photo op, and a nice bundle of XP.
Finding the start of these snow globe quests can be a little tricky, and finding one doesn't automatically lead to finding the rest. Here's how to find every Starfield snow globe and their landmarks.
How to get Starfield snow globe quests
Your quest to collect every snow globe in Starfield will only begin when you do a little reading, or at least a little book collecting. In fact, with the exception of the Mars snow globe, snow globe quests begin by getting specific books.
Some of these books may turn up randomly in locations throughout Starfield, but we've listed a definite location for each book below if you don't want to hunt them down on your own. To get the snow globe quest, you just need to add the specific book to your inventory by picking it up or buying it.
Once you've got the right book, the quest will appear in the Activity section of your quest log and a landing site will appear on the planet. Just land and follow the quest marker to each snow globe.

This snow globe quest is different than the others. To acquire it, you need to be on the main story quest "Unearthed" which sends you to the NASA Launch Tower location on Mars.
As you're looking through the NASA Launch Tower you'll enter a museum of exhibits from NASA's space program. Look for one that is displaying a rover as part of the MER (Mars Exploration Rover) Program. Interact with the kiosk in front of it and you'll learn about the MER program and the snow globe quest will be added to your quest log.
Land at the marker and you'll find the snow globe sitting on the rover.
