Aesthetically appealing but poor construction . This is a nice looking and scientifically viable celestial globe however the plastic construction is cheap. The top and bottom of the globe is slightly askew as well. The person who put it together seemed to have rushed it. The lighting feature that illuminates the globe is a neat concept and works good enough. If this cost half the price I would say it is a decent deal but for almost $80 after shipping I would recommend trying to find one on ebay for much less or an alternative globe.

Constellation Illuminated Globe Reviews
astronomical and mythic. . The globe is about a 1/8 thick (!) layer of plastic, rather than cardboard. I had thought that the light in question would shine through the stars, however the globe is solid, with no holes. There are however two layers to the plastic, the outer one shows the astronomical designations and constellations, including the milky way. The inner layer is painted with classically styled pictures of the creatures/people of the constellations. When the light is off it is a smooth blue star globe, with just the astronomical markings. When the light is lit, the inner pictures shine through and overlay, showing the more mythical interpretations of the constellations.
The globe is very solid and seems sturdy, the bracketing frame is simple plastic and may not hold up as well. The globe does turn, but somewhat stiffly.
I'm bit disappointed that the light doesn't shine out of the stars, I'm considering drilling out the holes for the stars, so we can use it as a constellation projector too.

Constellation Illuminated Globe Opinions
Cheap construction . the globe is nice, the illumination is also nice but the bracket is poorly constructed, my globe actually got broken at the bracket while on delivery, Would be better to have better material to fix the globe on the holder.

Cons Review
Kind Of A Dud . Unfortunately the recipient who got this globe unpacked it an the arm was cracked. She said she could easily glue it...
Perhaps better packing material is necessary. It's not a cheap item so improve the packing!
