Astronomy

I'm obsessing over Astronomy at the moment, in particular artistic representations, especially old ones. One of my favourite things to do is to see the Saturday night live show at the Brisbane Planetarium (incidentally Brisbane was named for Sir Thomas Brisbane who was a keen astronomer and built Australia's first observatory).
Here are some of my current favourite finds.

Lunar Calendar, Full Moon Poster, Tromp L'Oeil Floor Mat, and Moon Phase Pillows, all from Urban Outfitters.

And finally, I checked out some books from the Library, 'Observing the Heavens' by Peter Hood from 1951 and 'Atlas of the Universe' by BR Ernst and TJE de Vries from 1961.
