A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

Observing the universe is a spherical space centered around the observer, where objects emit light that can reach the observer's eyes. According to Hubble's Law, the universe is expanding, and the rate of regression of distant galaxies increases with increasing distance from Earth. That is to say, galaxies far enough away from Earth are moving at a speed exceeding the speed of light, and their emitted light will never reach our eyes. This distance is 46.5 billion light-years, which is also our observable radius of the universe.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The size of the universe is also a mystery that many people are confused about. As literary scholars speculate through observation today, the radius of our universe has reached 46.5 billion light years, with a diameter of 93 billion light years. If the Earth is the center, the observable universe can be viewed as a sphere, commonly known as the Hubble volume. All currently observable celestial bodies are located in a spherical spacetime with a radius of 46.5 billion light-years, known as the observable universe or Hubble volume. Beyond this range, although there are still galaxies, the light they emit will never reach Earth due to the universe's superluminal expansion.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
