NOX MINIMA is a free sky map to p rint and to build by yourself. It is an elegant tridimensional dome displaying the stars and constellations of your place. Star data comes from the precise Python library SkyField . The dome is a miniature night sky. The zenith is just at the top of the dome, which is not the case with flat representations. It is simple to perform a panoramic exploration of the sky, making it easier to identify the relative position of stars, constellations, the celestial pole, the ecliptic, etc. The NOX MINIMA dome is part of the project: "Tapirapé: paper 3D planetarium", host by the School of Science and Technology of Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Beautiful, sturdy and easy to assemble Print the 3 pages of the PDF of your city's sky. For better results , use medium weight papers (180 gsm ). Use scissors to cut along the lines shown in the animated gif. Ask an adult to help you with scissors. Glue the segments joining the lines. Always do it from the bottom up, one sector at a time, pressing the glued parts against a flat surface and reinforcing the outside of the dome. Do the same with the other two pieces of sky. Then glue them together, closing the dome, always from the bottom up.

Nox Minima is part of an educational project to encourage observation of the sky, through the construction of an elegant dome which is a precise miniature of the night sky. The name NOX MINIMA uses two Latin words that, together, mean something like "the smallest  night". About the project The NOX MINIMA project is coordinated by Professor André Bessa, from the School of Science and Technology at UFRN, Brazil. One of the project's main objectives is to introduce young people to sky observation by offering workshops in schools. Our hope is that this page will allow these experiences to be replicated throughout the country. The name NOX MINIMA uses two Latin words that together mean something like "the smallest of nights". Holding this dome feels like holding a miniature version of the night sky in your hands. So, calmly assemble your dome and experience the charm of its spherical shape, adorned with the beauty of the stars and the lines of the constellations. Tapirapé is the Tupi name for the Milky Way and means "Path of the Tapir". It is also the name of a Tupi-Guarani speaking indigenous group that inhabits central Brazil. The sky of the Southern Hemisphere is full of legends. You can generate the dome with traditional Western figures or with indigenous figures of the Tapir, the Rhea and the Old Man. This project is a contribution from the Public University to lovers of sky observation, teachers and students. Let's put our cell phones aside and get to know the stars. The Tapirapé project: 3D planetarium on paper is starting and has the support of two major projects: Cometa Nordestino, from ECT/UFRN and Desvendando o Céu Austral, from the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco.

I would also like to thank researcher Rex Medeiros, from ECT/UFRN, for setting up the web server. The following free tools were used:
