Corona Glass Stellar Disks

Melted sunshine? Frozen fireworks? No, it's Corona Glass, the colorful swirly glass Josh first developed more than 40 years ago. Since then he has melted nearly 500 different formulas of the unique ingredients - in particular precious metallic oxides - that make up this unpredictable material. Will his experiments ever end? Probably not, because Josh loves glass chemistry!

The whirling patterns of Corona Glass show especially well on the large platters Josh calls "Stellar Disks" because they remind him of rings of interstellar fragments that swirl around young stars. Watch the dramatic moment when Josh spins open a large floppy gob of molten glass to form the disk.

This month's Infinity Planet goes to Matthew B. Of Scandinavian descent, Matthew plans to hide his Simpson Planet somewhere within the world's largest model of our planetary system, the Sweden Solar System. This model is arranged in a 1:20 million scale, with the sun represented by the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm (the largest spherical building in the world) and the outermost planet of the model located almost a thousand kilometers away. One real but imaginary planet hidden in a real but fictional solar system: perfect!
