The Richard Mille Planetarium-Tellurium - 10 years in the making and looking absolutely fabulous.

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?)

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.

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way...

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.

I dunno, the sun/planets look a bit cheap.

I hope it at least also functions as an alarm clock Even better, if you don't feel like getting out of bed the world will stop spinning.

I'm staying up waiting to get a glimpse of the total lunar eclipse tonight. 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.

That's not a clock. This is a clock!. Got to admit, very pretty little thing, though.
