Starship Earth II
- Limited quantities available
Here's the next-best thing to taking a ride on the
space shuttle. Starship Earth II will help you explore the universe
that surrounds us - from the many constellations in our heavens, to the
movements of the Earth, Sun, and stars, the secrets of navigation, and much
more.
A beautiful work of art, as well as a superb learning/teaching tool, the
Starship Earth II
is a three-dimensional star atlas for the unaided eye. It is a perfect
companion to increase your enjoyment of star gazing with your binoculars or
telescope as well.
The impressive transparent sixteen-inch diameter
outer sphere of the Starship Earth II
displays updated and improved data from Sky Catalogue 2000.0, all
eighty-eight constellations and more than 1,100 naked-eye stars, plus many
prominent deep-sky objects against a precision grid of Right Ascension and
Declination lines. The Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds are shown in a wispy
translucent blue, and deep sky objects are keyed to type.
Everything is accurately hand silk-screened on the sphere's interior surface
for long lasting protection. Stars are identified by name, Greek letter
designations, brightness, from first to fifth magnitude, and distance from
the earth in light years. The outer sphere also highlights astral
equivalents used to locate stars. An easy three-step setting allows you to
reproduce the Earth, Sun, and star movements for any time, date, and
location in the world.
