First off I’m sorry for not posting here since the time I signed up, but I have been visiting the forum occasionally and learnt a lot from reading the threads.
I have some news ; I saw a presentation last week about a long term (about 40 years in the making) project of ISKCON , it is the building of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium in Mayapur (Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir) .The planetarium will have detailed model of the universe as from the descriptions given in the Srimad Bhagavatam and Brahma Samhita . The temple construction is under way and it is going to be the largest in the world, It should be completed in 2016.

Here’s a video with a 3D model :
