Make a Planisphere

A planisphere is a simple hand-held device that shows a map of which stars are visible in the night sky at any particular time. By rotating a wheel, it shows how stars move across the sky through the night, and how different constellations are visible at different times of the year.

This downloadable kit can be used specifically in Aruba near the 15-degree latitude. You can download and print it to make your own planisphere out of paper or cardboard.
