Can I have one of these please?

I want to go to the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo..they’ve got one of these:


“The globe was installed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the museum, as a result of Executive Director Mamoru Mohri “wanting to share with people the sight of our beautiful Earth as seen from space.”

 

I like the sound of Mamoru.

 

The display features constantly updated satellite images of the earth and it’s magic. I don’t think it’ll fit in my bedroom though. Maybe the hall, I’ll see.

    Thanks so much for sharing this! It IS amazing.

    We need these everywhere – so many more can appreciate the incredible planet that we share with millions of other species. This gem in the universe – the magical planet Earth!

    Cool! Does it show the radioactive cloud originating in Fukushima and disseminating into the ocean and the rest of the world? Or how about this…
