Product Description
Study this beautifully detailed 21cm geographical globe constructed from high-impact water-resistant material and mounted on an elegant brass stand. By day it shows political boundaries, natural features, capitals and major cities by population at a scale of 1:60,000,000. By night via the light-reactive sensor this unique product is then transformed into an illuminated map of the stars, showing 88 constellations with their common names. With its elegant design this is the perfect educational gift for budding astronomers and geographers alike.

Wish I wasn't disappointed, 2009-01-05
Comment: Well, to say this product is a wonderful educational tool is true. To say it is durable, is not, as my son has had this globe for one year, and it has functioned for less than half that time. The night constellation feature has flickered on and off for six months, finally blanking out, making its use only half possible. My son is a gentle intellect, and at 4 that is quite a treat, so I know his turning of the globe (as he studies continents) is not the cause of the broken constellation feature. Unfortunately, the globe was not purchased through Amazon, but through another children's toy company,with whom I have had no luck in compensation over this malfunction, and I am out 50£. As enticing as this product may be, I would think twice before purchasing.
