The BBC are running the popular programme ‘Stargazing Live’ on January 16th – 17th 2012. Last year we sold out of all our planispheres as stargazing became a favourite pastime. See MapStop’s home page.

We have created a new and original planisphere – designed by American Astronomer Mark Peterson. Our planisphere is double sided so can be used by the most novice of astronomers pointing out only the brightest constellations..when you have mastered this, simply flip the planisphere over and find other stars. Not only that Global Mapping’s Planisphere has another innovation - instead of using a rivet to hold the apparatus together–covering up Polaris, the North Star–the map’s outer frame holds the star wheel in place, permitting an uninterrupted view of the entire night sky.

Our Planisphere was featured in Astronomy Now due to these unique features.

Get one before they sell out again!
