Oh wow. Great find! And so apropos, because I'm staying up waiting to get a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse tonight. (I had to link to an unknown site because the main NASA link that I had been looking at all day seems to be broken, maybe from too much traffic?) posted by amyms at 12:39 AM on August 28, 2007
the diameter of the earth has for practical and aesthetic reasons been notably enlarged in the Planetarium-Tellurium (in reality, the earth is 109 times smaller than the sun)
So, it's more like Astronomic Misrepresentation? I kid, though. It's technically impressive and aesthetically pleasing. posted by preparat at 12:40 AM on August 28, 2007
It's obviously gorgeous, but isn't it missing a few planets?
And for what it (probably) costs, I hope it at least also functions as an alarm clock and AM/FM radio. posted by endquote at 1:05 AM on August 28, 2007
I dunno, the sun/planets look a bit cheap. posted by chrismear at 2:58 AM on August 28, 2007

Even better, if you don't feel like getting out of bed the world will stop spinning. posted by Serial Killer Slumber Party at 3:01 AM on August 28, 2007

Yeah, saw that. Bit disappointing. I was expecting a full blood red moon and it ended up a dirty pink. Maybe that was on account of the city lights though. And for what it (probably) costs
I heard a six figure sum being mentioned at some other sites. posted by tellurian at 4:49 AM on August 28, 2007
