Make a one-person Globetarium - "I see stars!"

Kids (and adults) see constellations in their exact locations as light shines through holes into a four-foot high plastic or aluminum dodecahedron.

Message us for instructions and files for new CNC-routed and 3D-printed Globetarium using gnomic projection. Or make a smaller and simpler Globetarium.
