This rotating globe illuminates to show how the world's cities look at night from space. True to the view from orbit, the globe glistens with a soft white glow in major metropolitan areas throughout Eastern Europe and North America and has sparsely lit areas scattered throughout Africa and Russia. The city lights automatically illuminate in low ambient light and dim when the globe is exposed to light, displaying a multicolor political map with topographical shading and place names for major cities, countries, and bodies of water. The 10" globe rotates automatically on a mirrored base that reflects Antarctica and the surrounding bodies of water. Plugs into AC. 11" H x 10" Diam. (4 lbs.)
