Universal Celestial Star Globe
The Universal Globe is a model of the celestial sphere and may be compared to a world globe, which is a model of Earth. This globe is designed to assist students in learning the locations, names and shapes of the constellations.
When viewing the constellations and stars through the globe, or from the inside looking out, the stars are seen in their true relationship, similar to viewing the heavens in a large planetarium where the stars are projected on a domed ceiling.

The globe is mounted in a full azimuth and meridian base and can be rotated independently. The meridian may be tilted to adjust the globe for latitude, while the horizon ring indicates the actual horizon in relation to the point of observation on Earth. The sun may be set by adjusting the sun knob located near the North Pole.
The globe comes with a comprehensive manual which explains basic astronomy concepts and how to set the globe for time and place to show the actual positions of the stars.
