This uniquely useful and beautiful,
state-of-the-art globe of the heavens, shows the entire starry sky as seen
from anywhere on Earth. It presents the stars in their true spectral colors
(temperature) and magnitude (brightness), offering a new cosmic perspective.
You'll discover all eighty-eight constellations and more than 1,100
naked-eye stars, plus prominent deep sky objects against a celestial double
coordinate system of Right Ascension and Declination for star gazing and
planet charting. Stars are identified by name and distance in light years
from Earth as well.
The sphere - offered in your choice of deep sky blue, blue pearl, and onyx
black - features hand-silk screened graphics on the interior surface for
protection. Choose from either the pedestal base, sculptured base, or the
disk base for this 12 inch diameter globe.
Each Starsphere comes with an interesting and informative booklet and a
signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity. A beautiful presentation of
the heavens and a fascinating source of discovery for years to come.
