Naked eye observatory??? Strange...

We came across these intriguing habitable bubbles in a French gardening mag over breakfast this morning. Not cheap but quite unusual and it was interesting to see the sales pitch emphasize such sights as the Milky Way and the stars, things forgotten by so many people today. So there is a mild enough astro connection, I think, to justify a post in this bit!

Anyway, for the man who has everything;

Welcome

futuristic, cool, but completely pointless i think! unless of course you have more money than you know what to do with, personally id sooner get a new scope

Hmmm... a see through tree house in the shape of a bubble. Sounds great but its got no loos or private changing area. Might need a rethink lol

How James Bond!!

I do like the Bubbletree range though. The glass bubbles are somewhat pointless and would seem stuffy in the summer

THIS would be a fabulous location!

Sounds like a great idea! I mean, you could still go out and do your naked eye astronomy when it's raining and not get wet....

oh, wait...

not thought that one through :-\

Reminds me of the Goons on a sinking ship.

Launch the lifeboats!

No point. The ship is too big to fit in the lifeboats. What an oversight on the part of the designer.
