Death Star Look-Alike

I stopped by Radio Shack this morning and picked up the last parts I need to finish my star projector. I painted it a couple of days ago and it looks kind of like the Death Star . . . so that's pretty sweet. I'll post pics and a write-up of the project when I get it all done. I'm super excited. I put my maglight in the projector to get an idea of what the final star-projections outcome would be, and it looked pretty sweet. Isaac liked it too. He kept running around the room trying to touch all the stars he could reach.

If you have any interest at all in looking at stars, check out this freeware at www.stellarium.org

It has about a million fun features such as, it allows you to change your view to match your location on the earth, you can zoom in on various objects like the surface of the moon of Pluto, etc. It's a lot of fun.
