They only come out at night…

The City Lights Globe effectively captures the ethereal beauty that befalls the cities around the globe at night, as darkness fills the skies and the buildings and streets respond by lighting up the surface. If you’ve ever sat at a vantage point, overlooking a city skyline at dusk, you know what this experience is like and, if not, then the City Lights Globe is the perfect chance for you to witness the way the earth lights up at night.

The City Lights Globe automatically rotates upon its base, mimicking the revolution of the earth, and as it does, the cities of the world light up, as if you were viewing that part of the earth at night from space. Thick with lights through most of the northern hemisphere, certain locales, such as Africa, are only sparsely populated with lights, giving an accurate depiction of the earth and its cities.

Offering you this one-of-a-kind view of the globe from space, the City Lights Globe is one of the most versatile physics toys that, aside from being educational, is also very fashionable, making for a handsome decoration to any room in the home or at the office that will brighten up any atmosphere. Atop its elegant base, it makes for a great conversation piece.
