Abstract: A glow-in-the-dark article illuminated with phosphorescent filling material and a charging case is described. The article has a pliant outer skin made of light-transmissive fabric on which a light-blocking image is affixed. The skin contains phosphorescent beads or particles. The charging box has an interior cavity with a transparent floor and netting for supporting the glow-in-the-dark article directly above a black light source, thereby effectively suspending the ball free from the sides of the cavity.
