The Solar System | Hand-Finished Astronomical Mobile
The Solar System is a large-format hanging model designed for display in a study, classroom, library, or office—an orderly representation of the planetary system that is both informative and visually substantial. Rather than serving as mere decoration, it gives the viewer a clear, engaging reference point for the structure of our solar neighborhood.
Each globe is finished with hand-applied gores and colored using satellite-based planetary reference imagery, including all eight planets, Pluto, and the Sun at center. The result is a piece with real educational value: accurate enough to reward close inspection, striking enough to hold attention from across the room.
Suspended among scientific instruments, maps, globes, and reference objects, the large-format mobile has enough presence to anchor the room. Hung properly, it adds motion, depth, and a sense of order without relying on gimmick or novelty.

- Displaying the planets in a form that is easy to study and discuss
