Earth as a marble

Received my Earth, Moon, and Mars marbles from Shasta today.

I tried to find these in Canada. Ray Khan was the only local vendor who seemed interested in importing these products. But Shasta wanted high minimum quantities so unfortunately Ray had to back down. I ordered direct.

These scaled glass marbles will be handy for public star parties for showing eclipses and debunking "Mars as big as the Moon" arguments...
