This 8 inch globe is a perfect gift for the amateur geographer or astronomer of any age! * In daylight this globe shows a geopolitical map of the Earth, and at night it lights up with the constellations of the night sky. * An automatic light sensor will magically illuminate the globe when in darkness, so you never have to worry about turning it off and on. * Kids and adults will easily learn geography and soon be able to identify major constellations. * Excellent night-light and educational focal point for any room.
