Experience the breathtaking splendor of the night sky with this unusual two-way illuminated globe. With the internal light off, this 12"-diameter orb displays a detailed 3D star map that identifies stars, constellations, deep-sky objects, the celestial equator, ecliptic, and coordinate grid. Turn on the internal light and 70 mythical constellation figures burst forth in rich, luminous colors! It's a stunning transformation and a real eye-catcher.

This Illuminated Celestial Star Globe features a molded black base and smoke semi-meridian that allows the globe to be freely rotated. Total height is 16". It plugs into a 110-volt wall outlet; no batteries are required. The internal 15-watt bulb can be easily replaced if it ever burns out. This globe, more than any we've seen, does justice to the beauty of the heavens. It's the perfect gift for anyone who has ever looked up in wonder at the starry sky.
