Geography and Astronomy Globe Reviews - By day, it teaches geography; by night, it teaches astronomy. This unique globe covers both topics in detail. In the light, it shows political boundaries, natural features, capitals and major cities by population. In the dark, it automatically changes to a constellation globe. Plug-in globe is accompanied by an illuminated star map showing the 88 constellations. A great learning tool for "kids" of all ages.

GOOD FOR LEARNING BUT OVERPRICED! . I bought this for my 7 year old niece because she has a strong interest in astronomy. After buying and returning all the cheap planetarium sets, this toy seemed like the best option. My niece thought is was an ordinary globe until we turned out the lights. Out comes the coolest constellations ever! We had fun pointing them all out and learning their history from the internet. When my niece isn't turning out the lights, the globe just sits on a shelf, untouched. For $80, I wish Discovery channel had included an astronomy/constellation book, cd, or map/poster to go along with this. Otherwise, like a previous reviewer said, you just have an overpriced night light. I loved my niece's reaction, but this globe is worth no more than $29.95.

A little pricey... . I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. When we first plugged it in and turned off the lights we all thought it was the coolest thing. And it is. It's a great way to learn. I'm not sure it's worth that price, though. $80 is a bit much. I bought it on sale for $67.
For the most part, we love it. Stars and continents in one globe. How great is that. And they don't interfere with each other. When the lights are on you only see land and water. when the lights go off, only stars. Unless you look really really closely!
It's a cool thing to have and learn from. My son loves to look for places he heard about on tv or from other people. But the price still gets me.

Geography and Astronomy Globe Opinions
Disappointed . We bought the globe in May 2007 for my 7 year olds birthday, we loved it! However, this April we were laying in bed and couldn't figure out why the room was darker than normal- The light had gone out. We called the 1800 # on the box they sent us a letter telling us it would cost $35.00 to fix. We only paid $70. Doesn't seem fair to me... All we need is a light bulb or an led light sensor... any suggestions...It was wonderful as long as it was working

cool globe . I bought this globe for my middle school classroom and my kiddos really love it! It is well-drawn, and doesn't have the legend covering Easter Island, where people live (that happens often and it really bugs me!!) When it's dark in the room, the constellations light up and it looks super cool. I recommend it!
