The Star Sphere

The Star Sphere is a replica in miniature of the largest and brightest objects in space
TM
surrounding our planet. If you were to imagine Earth inside the sphere, it would be located at
the exact center, where the light bulb is. The dots printed on the sphere represent stars. The
glow-in-the dark dots represent the brightest, easiest-to-find stars. The lines connecting the
stars show the constellations.
About 99 percent of visible stars like those on the Star Sphere are in the solar neighborhood.
That means they are within approximately 100 light-years of Earth. This is nearby, compared to
the other stars in the spiral arm of our galaxy where our solar system is located. A light-year is
the distance light can travel in one year, which is about 6 trillion miles or nine and a half trillion
kilometers.
