Is Eberron separated from the other celestial spheres just by space, or by time as well?

I'm not super knowledgable about Eberron's lore, but something that's always bugged me is how Eberron doesn't share the planescape with any other material planes and doesn't really seem to have any way to interact with other campaign settings at all. It's obvious that there's something vast separating eberron from the other material planes, but is it just space or time as well?

We know that Eberron is the most recent (in its timeline) of many successive worlds that have since been destroyed. The Gith and Oberynths supposedly came from previous worlds like these. We also know that it's possible for the planes of existence to be created or destroyed over time due to cosmic events like the spellplague that tore apart the multiverse for the entirety of 4e. It stands to reason that there's a time difference in which these cosmic alterations took place. Given how technologically advanced Eberron is compared to the other campaign settings, I wouldn't be surprised if its in the future relative to the forgotten realms, greyhawk, earth and rest

Why the Celestial Sphere Debunks Flat Earth

I posted about this in a comment, but since there are other Flat Earthers who may visit this sub, I'm reposting it in its own thread.

Several Flat Earthers have dismissed using what we see in the sky as evidence for the shape of the Earth, saying it's not relevant. But the reality is it very much does matter. If you imagine what we see in the sky as existing on a sphere surrounding the Earth (called the "celestial sphere"---see image below), then what appears on the celestial sphere to someone standing on the Earth would be different if the Earth is round than if it is flat. This is why stars rotating around two poles doesn't work on a flat Earth, and why the stars (and moon) progressively rotating to eventually become upside down as you travel north or south also doesn't make sense on a flat Earth.

The only reason then to dismiss using the sky as evidence of the shape of the Earth is because it immediately defeats the argument that the Earth is flat. This is why Flat Earthers are deniers, not skeptics. So if you are truly curious about the shape of the Earth, you should not limit your study to whether you can see curvature of a 197 million square mile surface area with your bare eyes using no instruments.

D100 Obscure/Occult Currencies or Treasures to discover deep underneath the earth, far up on the celestial spheres or any other places that humans were never meant to tread

By treasures, I mean ingots of unearthly material, gemstones or folds of incorporeal cloth. Try and maintain a fantasy feel, but if some sci-fi subtly works its way in, it isn't too big a deal. This was inspired by Deep Carbon Observatory >!at the very end where the characters have made it to the vault and find all of the Underdark trading materials.!< Check it out if you have the chance or need inspiration, I got it for free off of DTRPG. Highly recommend DMs to run it and players to stay away. Generally speaking, I'm looking for things that may be traded back and forth across countries that exist in other-worldly environs. They can be physical, like some precious metal, or fairly conceptual, like a solidified secret. If you go the conceptual route, try and make it something that the PCs can have a general understanding of and perhaps use for. After all, most goods have a use to SOMEONE. I saw a similar post on interesting and rare coins after I started writing this, but coins aren't the only things that can be traded around.

  1. Bottled Betrayals: 1d20 small glass bottles that each contain a thrashing, red fluid. The bottles are corked with what looks to be some sort of softened bone marrow and if opened will allow a chance for the fluid to escape. If consumed, the consumer must make a very difficult save vs Fear (racial immunities apply, equipment immunities do not) or become extremely paranoid, believing himself to be an ancient noble surrounded by false friends. May begin speaking in unknown tongues and may attack anyone who ventures too close. Each bottle contains enough for one dose of a poison that does the same thing to an enemy or NPC. Very lucrative for trade among political circles and historically traded to the Grinning Emissaries, beastly things that cannot speak in any language by bureaucracy.
  2. Dried Psionic Parasite: 1d100 dried prawn-like organisms. Each of these creatures has a 1-in-5 chance to carry eggs that are fertile which can be extracted by an adept alchemist for a fee. If the eggs are raised and implanted in a host, that host will gain the telepathy, telekinesis, levitate and wrack psionic abilities in order and over the course of four months. After four months have passed, the host will begin astrally-projecting themselves during dreams, finding themselves drawing ever closer to a dark entity far beyond the stars before being drug back into their body. After one month of these dreams occurring nightly, the hos

Projecting the celestial sphere onto a planisphere?

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out (and have found little success in the endeavor) how to project the celestial sphere onto a planisphere. As I understand it, planispheres fairly accurately create a star chart at a given latitude by rotating a mask to match the current time of year and even time of day.

However, I'm not quite sure then how the celestial sphere moves, and how then you'd go about mapping the celestial sphere onto a planisphere. Obviously a planisphere shows only a single hemisphere, but how do you ensure that its rotation then matches the movement of the night sky.

Any help in this would be helpful, as I'd like to start creating a night sky for my world, and figure that having some form of map would be helpful

The true CELESTIAL SPHERE represented in a novel way

Behold. The celestial sphere here has been represented and shown in a novel way. A literal celestial sphere. This is an alternative projection that may interest amateur and professional astronomers alike.

Many ancients, depicted the stars as a literal sphere above our heads. An example many of you may be familiar with, is ATLAS holding up the stars above his head https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/97/cc/a297cc99992f5761b29474024ecbe247.jpg

You can image the stars as we observe them on our globe. The stars wrap around us worldwide. Imagine if you were to invert this somehow, and rather than wrap around the earth, the stars itself would turn into a sphere, just like how the ancients predicted it from many cultures around the world.

Using this method, the same observation rules apply. The northern hemisphere the stars spin in one direction, the southern hemisphere the stars spin in another. Long exposure photography/record even shows these star trails to VISUALLY represent this celestial sphere in a novel manner/projection never before seen on the internet as far as I am aware.

Those near the equator see the side view of the celestial sphere. The northern hemisphere is like as if they are looking at the celestial sphere from a top down perspective. And the southern hemisphere folks, as if they are looking at the celestial sphere from the bottom up.

Curious...curious indeed. Make sure to watch throughout the video as there are many shots that have been shown in this manner.https://youtu.be/CVvVIOUvyOQ

Celestial Sphere Rotation Question - New Astronomy Student

Hi Everyone,

I was having some trouble on my astronomy work and was hoping I could get some help.

In this question, we were given a list of cities and asked to record a series of measurements (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude of Polaris, and Celestial Sphere Rotation)

I had no problems finding the first three measurements, but I don’t understand how I’m supposed to go about getting a β€œCelestial Sphere Rotation” Measurement.

(As a side note, I’m using the starry night program to get my numbers)

Looking for a good celestial sphere globe; any suggestions?

I'd love to own a physical celestial sphere globe, and ideally it would have a few extra things on it, or be easy to alter and add them. I'd love to hear any suggestions of anyone's found one, so here's what I'm looking for:

  • major constellations, large stars, not over crowded but includes all major details
  • movable planets, sun, moon (idk if this is even possible tbh)
  • IF EARTH GLOBE INSIDE: zenith line, connecting points on earth to points in sky, can be moved
  • IF HOLLOW: can put a light inside of it to project onto surrounding room
  • lines for ecliptic, horizon, and meridian (movable if appropriate)

I know this is a LOT of stuff and it's unlikely to find all of this. But if you know of something that has even one or a few of these, I'd love to know if it exists. I'd like to know before I end up DIYing it all.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

If a celestial or fiend in the Forgotten Realms travels to another Crystal sphere and then "dies" there, what happens then? Do they go to the local equivalent of the heavens, hells, abyss? Do they travel back to their original plane in a different sphere? Do they cease to be?

Normally when a celestial or fiend "dies" in the material playing, they go back to whatever plane they originally came from.

What happens if they get to the prime material, get on a spell jammer, travel to a different Crystal sphere and then die there?
