| This 16" diameter clear acrylic celestial globe is unique in many features that place it far above other such globes. All of the stars are printed on the inside of the globe so that your eyes are drawn to the yellow dots (representing the stars) on the far side of the globe. This unique feature enables the viewer to see the stars, constellations, and other celestial objects in the same left right orientation that they appear in the night sky. Clear printing in four colors is helpful in reading the information on the globe. Star dots were specifically designed to be significantly different in size so that they are easily determined without the aid of measurements. |

| A 5-3/4" transparent acrylic Earth ball inside the sphere assists in orienting the viewer who is located on the Earth. A yellow sun ball moves 360° along the ecliptic to set the date when using the globe. The blue horizon ring is large enough and close enough to the celestial sphere to assist in delineating the area of the star field that can be seen from any location on the earth on any date and any time. |
