For people all across the country summer nights are spent in the back yard looking at the stars. Backyard stargazing in the warmer states really picks up when summer is winding down and the heat isn’t so bad and the bugs are starting to thin out. The challenge for many when looking at the night sky is actually finding something worth looking at.

Mead has announced a new device called mySKY PLUS that is like having your own personal planetarium. The device has an onboard database of over 30,000 celestial objects. To use it you aim at an object in the sky you want to know more about and pull the trigger. A display on the rear shows images of the celestial object and provides information on whatever you are looking at.

The Planisphere Watch will show you the constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere (between 35 & 50 degrees latitude). Just turn the bezel so the current time is aligned with the date to determine which major constellations are visible. The watch features a 43mm diameter brass case and crystal dome lens with a rubber band that has stainless steel links.

It has quartz movement and a “super luminescent” dial that illuminates the star chart for 2-3 hours without batteries. It is a guaranteed nerd conversation starter, but the watch face is small, so it’s only going to to show a handful of constellations.

No, not the candy bar… If you’re one of those people who like to have totally unique and cool objects decorating your home, then why not display the Milky Way galaxy for all to see and be impressed with? This device is also great for those bent on Galaxy wide domination. Imagine being able to hold the galaxy in the palm of your hand while you laugh maniacally at your enemy’s staship movements.

Living World’s Milky Way galaxy 3D model was created using real space data from Eiichiro Kokubo, Assistant Professor at Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory and Osaka University’s Kato Tsunehiko. Holding the galaxy in your hand isn’t cheap though, it will cost you about $770.
