Why buy two globes when you can buy this unique, dual-function globe. The Earth and Constellation Globe has a day and night view and is actually two globes in one. In daylight, the 22.8 cm diameter globe shows political boundaries, oceans, equator, lines of longitude and latitude, country names, capitals and other major cities for every country in the world. At night, an illuminated star map shows constellations and their common names. The globe is at a scale of 1:55,900.00 and stands on a sturdy, stylish silver stand with a matching graduated meridian. The light sensor automatically switches the globe to the night function when it is dark. Earth by day - space by night - 2 globes in 1! The perfect gift for future astronomers and beginner geographers. Power supply: 4 C-type batteries. Batteries are not included in the product.
