Earth and Constellation Globe
Say, all you gadget lovers, what words are most common in gadget names?
Any ideas? Well, let me share my view. It’s ‘USB’, ‘LED’ and last but not least, ‘x in 1′.
So, for today, we have a 2 in 1 type Globe, even if it’s name is quite deceiving (atleast for me).
Even though the picture makes it (sort of) clear for me, let me explain this to those of you that don’t get this (the picture could certainly be more detailed).
At day time, this is a simple globe with a political map on it (meaning it shows countries and cities), along with some natural features (that being lakes and maybe more significant mountains). Pretty usefull for geography students to have, and pretty interesting to look at from time to time even if you aren’t one.
However, by night it turns into an illuminated map of 88 constellations with their names - cool huh? Just the thing for the budding astronomer of the house. Astronomy is fairly simple if you have the right motivation (for me it’s lasers - managed to locate the north star and the little bear (or whatever it’s called in english) in about 3 minutes when I got a green laser - with about 15.9 years of failure to do so before).
The globe itself is 21cm wide and 31cm high - big enough to earn respectful looks and at the same time it should fit on your table.
The Earth and Constellation Globe is £49.95 (approximately $89.91) at boysstuff.
