An illustrated guide to exploring the Universe in three dimensions.
Astronomers have made remarkable discoveries about our Universe, despite their reliance on the flat projection, or 2D view, the sky has offered them.
The 3D Universe is a marvel, and Stars in Your Hand serves as a unique and thrilling portal to discovery..
They then offer images and instructions for printing and visualizing stars, nebulae, supernovae, galaxies, and even black holes in 3D.
Arcand and Watzke outline advances in 3D technology, describe some amazing recent discoveries in astronomy, reacquaint us with the night sky, and provide brief biographies of the telescopes, probes, and rovers that are bringing us so much data.
Intrigued by the stunning images from high-powered telescopes? Using this book, you can fly virtually through a 3D spacescape and hold models of cosmic objects in Your hand.
In Stars in Your Hand, Kimberly Arcand and Megan Watzke offer an illustrated guide to exploring the Universe in three dimensions, with easy-to-follow instructions for creating models of Stars and constellations using a 3D printer and 3D computer imaging.
Stars in Your Hand and 3D technology make learning about space an adventure.
But now, drawing on the vast stores of data available from telescopes and observatories on the ground and in space, astronomers are using 3D technology to go beyond a flattened view of the cosmos.
