Wheel of Stars is a musical clock made of stars by Jim Bumgardner.
He programmed Hipparcos data collected from over 100,000 stars and plotted the stars to revolve around the North Star one complete cycle every 24 hours. Each time a star crosses the horizontal axis, it is highlighted and triggers a sound based the star's properties.
Bumgardner will build an installation of the Wheel of Stars in your home, gallery or museum. I hope someone takes him up on his offer. His other creations are ace as well.
