Designer Creates Incredible 3D Printed Lighted Globe

Mathematician and maker Jason Cole uses an ancient mapping technique, stereographic projection, to create a stunning 3D printed globe that uses light to cast patterns in the space surrounding it. Cole shared his process, including his mathematical formula on his blog, “Almost Looks Like Work.” Check out the work and design to emerge: http://3dprint.com/30368/stereographic-lampshade/ ‎

I wouldn't mind seeing this in my home at night. What are your thoughts on these globes? Below is a rendering of the 3D printed globe:
