New Products & Services The sky's the limit
Here's something for astronomy buffs: The Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium is a hand-held digital planetarium that identifies and locates thousands of stars, planets and constellations. About the size of a camcorder, this `point and shoot' device can transform the night sky into your own personal planetarium, says the amazon.com site. The hand-held is being released on May 29 this year. A `locate' feature allows you to select any object you wish to view, and read scientific and historical information about it. Once you're connected, you'll have instant access to the SkyScout database of over 6000 stars, all 88 constellations, 200 galaxies, 100 nebula, 40 star clusters, 20 comets, 10 asteroids and more, says the site.
