Product Description
Why buy two globes when you can buy this unique dual functioning globe. The Earth and Constellation Globe has a day-time and night- time view and is in fact two globes in one. In the daylight the 22.8cm diameter globe shows political boundaries, oceans, equator, longitude and latitude lines, country names, capital cities and other major cities for each country in the world. By night the illuminated star map shows constellations with their common names.
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 adpator 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.
The Earth and Constellation Globe is a great learning tool for geographers and astronomers but also a great feature for any bedroom, living room or study. A truly unique globe.

A gift that was well received and much enjoyed, particularly the night-time feature when the globe displays a celestial map. Grand-daughter leaves it on until she goes to sleep so the the power supply option will be my next purchase

Well made as plastic goes. Very good definition and detail both in globe mode and night sky. Works fine with batteries but I have bought a mains adaptor since my granddaaughter is almost certainly going to use it as a night light and hence it,s going to be left on for hours; I didn't want the parents to be saddled with battery costs.
I think it would be a better purchase if it included an adaptor (extra cost would be under a tenner. Or, at least supplier could offer the adaptor as an optional extra that could be purchased at the same time. I had to shop around a bit and eventually bought a universal multi voltage adaptor.

I bought this as a gift for a family home with young children. Great fun and educational gift. It is very light so needs to be kept in a safe location where it won't easily be knocked. I bought an adapter from amazon for around �4 which was very much appreciated by the gift reciever who won't have to keep buying batteries.

This is ideal for introducing children in learning about the world. The globe lights up so it also introduces the constellation to children and adults.
