Explore the World at your desk by day and night!
Earth by day – space by night – 2 globes in 1 ! The perfect present for aspiring geographers and astronomers. Why purchase two globes when you can purchase this special dual-purpose globe? The Earth and Constellation Globe is actually two globes in one, including views of both day and night. The globe displays each nation's political borders, capital city, oceans, equator, longitude and latitude lines, and other significant cities during the day. At night, constellations and their common names are displayed on the lit star chart. The globe, which has a scale of 1:55,900,00, is supported by a robust, fashionable silver stand that has a graded meridian to match.
The Earth and Constellation Globe has an automatic light sensor so when the globe is turned on and the surrounding area is dark the globe will transform into a beautiful glowing globe showing the star constellations. There is also a handy override switch which allows you to turn off the night-time view and thus conserve battery power. You can also purchase an electrical adaptor separately (not included) that you can plug into the globe and power it off mains electrics. Each box contains a specification to enable you to purchase such an adaptor.
