Vera Rubin's Protractor

Origin
Vera Rubin was an astronomer who studied galaxy rotation rates and what became known as the galaxy rotation problem. She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted angular motion of galaxies and the observed motion, by studying galactic rotation curves. Galaxies rotate so fast they should rip themselves apart if only stars’ gravity fields held them together. But they are being held together, which signified the existence of a large unknown mass besides the stars. Her research has led her to believe that dark matter is the source of the attraction, although the nature of it is still very unknown.

Effects
An interesting artifact with a more practical application. Holding it up and focusing the center on a point will allow the user to rotate an object from a distance by applying astronomical (pun) amounts of outside force. This is used mainly for tightening screws around the office...
