Richard Powell - Polyhedron Skyglobe

This is just brilliant, this model by Richard Powell makes a paper globe of our solar system when put together, which of course im trying to do right now. I think this would be great to get something like this to out in my astronomy packs as i think its something that most people would love to do, more interactive fun.

Astronomy Picture A Day

This site is brilliant, basically they post one picture ever day that relates to astronomy, this can be a photo of our universe to a painting by Van Gough. Check them all out here.

Im going to be using some of these pictures to develop my work further, even if its just using a colour sample of them. But i want to have images that show directly how amazing our universe is and not just draw out planets representing our solar system, as i think this is important to show people how beautiful and alive it actually is.
