About Cassiopeia Sarivongana

Cassiopeia dia sarivongana vitramin'ny fitaratra avy amin'ny fitaratra fako indostrialy sy azo averina ampiasaina. Ilay akora dia mety ho tafiditra ao anaty fako raha tsy izao, fa kosa noho ny fahamainana sy famerenana amin'ny endrika vaovao, dia miova endrika izy io. Ny sombiny tsirairay dia fitaratra atao amin'ny studio, tsofina amin'ny vava, ka namboarina tamin'ny tanana. Ny velaran-tany manirina sy voajanahary dia mampiseho ny hakanton'i Scandinavia sy ny hazavana. Ny fitaratra boribory tsirairay dia mahazava kely, ary ny velaran-tany toy ny ranomandry dia miray amin'ny fanajariana toy ny tontolo iainana. Ny sarivongana dia mifandraika amin'ny 150 sy 50 ary 30 santimetatra. Ny tanjona dia fandikana ara-tononkalo ny fifanoherana eo amin'ny akora azo averina ampiasaina sy ny akora sarobidy.
