Helios’ Annulus shows only the Earth and the Sun. But this simple design makes it both a clock, and a calendar! Gaia’s side makes one of these bodies central, with an ecliptic / orbit for the other.
Wesley’s Annulus displays the Big 3: The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth. Some might know these better as Sun-Moon-Rising. Lola’s displays the 27 asterisms of the Lunar Mansions.
Justin’s Annulus displays the 7 Visible Wanders: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon, as well as the Earth. Ellie’s holds half of the visible constellations in the sky.
Brandon’s Annulus displays seen and unseen objects in the Solar System, adding Ice-Giants, Dwarf Planets, and Asteroids. Michelle’s show’s all 88 constellations in the heavens.
Paul’s Annulus shows the fictional planet of Arrakis / Dune, from the novel by Frank Herbert, with its two canonical Moons. Chani’s side is a uniquely designed set of constellations based on Freman culture and legends.
