| Observe the changing
pattern of sunlight falling over each hemisphere of this fascinating globe.
Beautifully illustrating night and day, as well as the inclination of the
Earth as the seasons pass, this globe is suitable for public display in
libraries, museums, reception areas, etc.. Children and adults alike
are mesmerized by the effect of viewing the earth in 3-D, as it appears to
"float", spinning from light to darkness, gradually changing its tilt.
Based on an astronomically true formula, the globe allows you to observe one
year in six minutes.
The individually crafted full Earth globe is lit
from within, yet ingeniously shielded so that only half of the planet is
visible as the globe turns, perfectly recreating how the sunlight varies
over the surface of the Earth. The internal robotic mechanism
design provides accurate inclination, following the seasons through the
year (1 year = 6 minutes).
Not just an "earth as seen from space" display.
This globe is 16" in diameter and is politically up to date, allowing
you to refer to specific places as you observe the seasonal patterns.

Attract attention and interest at a trade show or convention with this
exquisite display, while emphasizing the "global position" of your
organization.
Inspire students and answer
their questions: "Why are there seasons?", "How does the sunlight
really change during the year over the globe?", "How many hours of
sunlight does any location receive during the year?", or "What time does
sun rise and set at your location today?".
Whether used as a teaching
aid, or as an attention commanding display, this globe is unlike any
other.
