Abstract: An ant habitat includes an outer transparent member which is vacuum-formed from a plastic sheet of material to have a through opening with an outer flexible perimeter wall. An inner transparent member having an inner flexible perimeter wall is connected through a flange to the outer transparent member to provide a space between the inner and outer flexible perimeter walls for receiving particulate material that will permit ants to burrow therethrough. The outer transparent member has a retainer lip extending above the inner transparent member to prevent the egress of ants.

Abstract: An astronomical correlator for determining the position of the stars and method of using the same includes a transparent hollow globe having phosphorescent indicia. A horizon ring member and a latitude scale member can be utilized for defining the field of view of the night sky in correlation with the date and time. A flash light assembly can activate phosphorescent material, both on the transparent globe and on an alignment assembly, that permits a sighting by the observer of the night sky through the globe for determining the identification of stars.
