My Star-Gazer Globe.
It has a little light-bulb inside, so the constellations project themselves all about the room.
When you lie down on the bed at night, they shine over you. Aquila flying across the ceiling. Cassiopeia on your toes.
I think it must be a bit like the Milky Way swallowing you whole.
And you feel so tiny, like a little Jonah, inside whale bones made of stars.
