Book Stars (with cards). AKAL Publishing House
Explore the wonders of the night sky and the fascination it holds for us with these 20 cards and an information-packed book.
Each card presents one of the key constellations on a perforated card, whose holes are of a size proportional to the brightness of the stars. Simply shine a flashlight through them to project the constellation onto the ground or a wall and locate it in the firmament.
The accompanying book provides detailed information about these constellations, including their importance in mythology and philosophy, and how we can incorporate that knowledge into our lifestyle.
