The sky from the center of the earth

3D Model

This conceptual model is based on the antique celestial sphere, where the stars are projected on geometry. Those tools were used in navigation and other applications. In this model, the world is transparent and accurately inverted. You can use it to train yourself to the patterns of the stars and their relation to the land.

By comparing the night map and the sky, You can see that some cities align on the trajectory of major stars. As men were using the stars to guide their logistics from antiquity to modern times. This technic played a major role in navigation, but also in civilization developments. Stars trajectories were guidelines for conquest, land management, and trade roads. By knowing what the star is pointing at, you will always find your way.

Those old astrological projections were better than any maps. Because they were encoding the story of the land in the sky. Like in the Mercator map of the starry heavens. https://skfb.ly/osYxp
