- nehal3m 2y agoFunny, my first thought was Eise Eisinga's planetarium from the 18th century. I've visited, it's a work of art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eise_Eisinga_Planetarium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eise_Eisinga_Planetarium edit: As also mentioned in the other discussion, this is more an orrery (a model of the solar system) as opposed to a model of what the starry sky looks like.
