The products are made by highly trained American craftsman and women; dedicated to spheres that influence, educate and inspire.
Special emphasis will continue with custom globes, art reproductions, awards, events, display work and unique spherical concepts.

The Celestial Sphere is made with the highest quality museum acrylic and is free-blown similar to techniques used in glass blowing. In the center of the star sphere is a translucent Earth, surrounded by a movable horizon ring and sun ball. In three simple steps, you can orient yourself to the stars above anywhere on Earth (no worrying about overcast skies or light pollution).
The Celestial Sphere includes all the major stars with their Greek letter designation, magnitude, and light years from Earth. The star field has both the equatorial and sidereal hour coordinate systems. All 58 navigational stars are highlighted in color. Celestial navigation is used in determining time, location and line of position – great for sailors, aviators, hikers and navigators all over the world.
This beautifully hand-crafted astronomy aid is sure to bring hours of knowledge and inspiration.
