EarthBall Glows to Show Us Earth at Night

The EarthBall is an inflatable vinyl world globe. Although, the EarthBall is basically a beach ball, the globe is unique in that it is formed from satellite images of Earth and is treated with glow-in-the-dark, photo-luminescent ink.

When the EarthBall is exposed to light for a couple of minutes, the cities of Earth will glow in the dark to represent the appearance of Earth from space at night.

Since this globe is inflatable, it may not really belong in a real globe collection; however, it would be an interesting novelty for anyone interested in satellite imagery. EarthBalls sell for around $15.
