Just as Orion blazes in the night sky, this globe lights up at the flip of a switch. The 12" ball pairs a smooth jet-black ocean with brightly coloured continents and countries, and stands 16.5" tall on a stainless steel base with a matching die-cast semi-meridian. Beyond its looks it is genuinely useful, carrying country names, capitals, major cities and the world's major waterways. A striking centrepiece for a library, home or office, and a fine gift.
