Abstract
A celestial globe assembly includes a celestial body pointing pen. The celestial body pointing pen includes a light emitting mechanism. The celestial body pointing pen includes a reference marking at a bottom end. The celestial globe assembly includes a celestial globe. The celestial globe includes a spherical body. The spherical body has at least one star marking on a surface of the spherical body. The celestial globe assembly includes a celestial body recording cover. The celestial body recording cover is in semi-spherical shape. The celestial body recording cover is at least partially transparent such that a user can see through.
Claims20
A celestial globe assembly, comprising
- a spherical body, the spherical body having indicia of celestial bodies, the spherical body is evenly separated into a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere, wherein the first hemisphere and the second hemisphere are mechanically configured to make relative movements to each other about a first axis;
- a date bend disposed circumferentially around the first hemisphere, the date bend includes a first date indicia representing a first date of a year;
- and
- a time bend disposed circumferentially around the second hemisphere, the time bend includes a first time indicia representing a first time of a day, wherein the date bend and the time bend are adjacent to each other;
- wherein when the first hemisphere and the second hemisphere make a relative movement such that the first date indicia aligns with the first time indicia, the spherical body represents an orientation of the celestial bodies viewed from an earth at the first time of the first date.
A method of using a celestial globe assembly, comprising
- making relative movements between a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere of a spherical body of a celestial globe about a first axis;
- aligning a first date of a date bend with a first time of a time bend, wherein the date bend is disposed on the first hemisphere, the time bend is disposed on the second hemisphere;
- and
- aligning an equator of the spherical body with a first latitude indicia by turning the spherical body about a second axis, wherein the first latitude indicia represents a first latitude of an earth, the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis.
