Tap it to spin the globe; drag to turn it.
Notes
It is a map of the sky, not of the Earth: the stars and the figures of the constellations are painted on a ball, as if you saw the sky from outside. The flat ring round it is the horizon; the brass ring over it is the meridian.
Tap it and the ball turns in its rings, as the sky seems to turn overhead each night.
