The Galaxy
Ideal for apartments, and properties with concrete ceilings, where a traditional Star Ceiling can't be installed.
Since The Galaxy will also be part of your room decor during the day, it is also designed as a work of art, with original constellation graphics by artist, Cara Lockhart Smith. Very attractive as a conversation piece above a dining table or in an entrance hallway!
Star Light Solutions are the sole distributors, in Spain, for The Galaxy which is manufactured by our UK Associates. It measures approx. 1.5m diameter, ready assembled, cast in fibreglass with a standard matt white finish which can be painted to your preference.
The names of each constellation and of the major stars and galaxies (such as the Great Spiral in Andromedaare engraved on the disk for ease of identification. There are also engraved radial lines and circles dividing the sky into different area.
The names of the 12 houses of the Zodiac are engraved around the rim of the Galaxy and these are located in their correct astronomical position. An embossed curving line shows the Ecliptic.
For clients who would like to take the design further, the engraved lines are suitable for painting or filling with gold or silver wire. (We can recommend a highly talented artist)
The Galaxy is perfect for virtually anywhere but when used in a Child's Bedroom it acts as both a nightlight and educational tool.
Stunning in Bedrooms, Entrance Halls and above Dining Tables it is also very well suited for Yoga/Meditation rooms.
The constellation figures are drawn from the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome. Around 450 embossed stars are shown on The Galaxy's disk, each in its correct relative position. Different star shapes denote the relative brightness of each star and this is also modeled in the actual light coming from each optical fibre.
Embossed lines link the stars in each constellation to create the outlines which gave rise to their identification with the figures of mythology.
Illuminated by a single halogen light source which feeds light via an optical harness. You will need access to this light source to change the single bulb and it can be located anywhere within a 2m radius of the Galaxy disk. (A cupbard, book shelf, etc)
