Hi, I'm Alex!

I have watched Kickstarter for years now and finally decided it was time to develop something fun. Im passionate about stars and space, as well as welding and creating, so it was exciting to pair these two passions into a project. After graduating high school I began running my own business building various parts. I'm now an aerospace grade welder and because of my experience I was lucky enough to go to SpaceX in 2016. I rock the Draco constellation because it reminds me of the Rocket Family Draco created by SpaceX on the Dragon Spacecraft. I hope you enjoy this project and thus remember to never stop chasing your dreams!

This is a 2D view of stars representing ancient views from humans of the past, these stars have shown light on all humans that have ever lived. These constellations go down in history creating some of the most epic stories and adventures known to man. As you stare into the stars change your mindset and imagine how profound, beautiful, and powerful each is.

Orion constellation for instance is named after the Greek hunter. The 7th brightest star Rigel is in that formation and 772 light years away. How long would it take to get there if at all.. moving 60,000 mph? What planets if any surround it?

Think our sun, Helios, or star is keeping us alive and warm right now... it just might be on some aliens keychain as seen from their planet and their created Constellation.

One thing is for sure, stars that burn to create these fun 2D sights add mind blowing views at night and a breathtaking perspective as we gaze from tiny planet Earth. So grab someone you love and peak out at the free show going on every night.

Enjoy this keychain, necklace pendant, or dog tag and every time you hold it remind yourself that you're amazing... stars are amazing, and just taking a break to think about that is... well, amazing :)

You can tag your top secret documents w/ Make100 star constellation...

......................or shine it on the ceiling before bedtime!

Or maybe you just want a beer while you look at the sky...

I estimate 50+ constellations will be designed. The modern constellations will be made along with others for fun. 12 of 13 of the 88 "modern" are the popular western astrology astrological zodiac signs Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces and the removed 13th zodiac Ophiuchus.

These are hand sketched for fun, not scientifically perfect in anyway. Due to the limited space on the keychain I have to make the design fit. I would like you to talk with friends or go out at night with family and take a break from the hustle. Teach friends, loved ones or your children about the vast distance and beauty we often don't pay attention to.

Potential additions:

Black anodized metal then CNC cut so it pops more and adds more dimension.

Messing with idea of 6" paper like rotating dial tool that can be printed off and cut out. Then use this tool to view the constellations through a cut out window, the window positioning itself based on the time of year.

Star Constellation 24x36 poster sketched out by Alex Neumann. Northern Hemisphere on the left, southern on the right. Zodiac type Constellations posted on top starting with December/January the shortest days of the year, peaking in the middle to the longest days in the year in June.

Large and beautiful this poster will open your eyes to the amazing stars surrounding us all day long. Put it on your wall for vision, inspiration, education and hopefully mood altering. Simple yet very informative. Poster is in black or white. Posters star layout influenced by the work of Italy's Roberto Mura, Wikipedia.

THANK YOU for your support!
