Your Own Milky Way

Yes.. this is our very own galaxy “caught” in a glass cube. Around 80,000 stars were etched using a laser based off of three-dimensional data collected by Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory. The cube measures 12 cm square and is available for 80,000 Yen.

The first cube was produced for the “Window” exhibition at Mashiko/Starnet in 2005. Who’s in for getting one? As you can see the design is just as much as needed to work within any style of house.
