Home Planetarium

Easy to use, complete with Instructional DVD, this Space Theater Planetarium is a very cool, hands-on way for a child to experience the heavens in the comfort of his own home. Matching identifications of constellations and the night sky are made easier by the proportionate rendering through the templates provided. Mom and Dad and anybody also curious get to experience the sky together and discuss all the many wonders in a protected and secure atmosphere.

This is suggested as a “starter planetarium” which does not show the entire sky, yet it is perfect for a flat surface inasmuch as it does represent well what one actually can reproduce in a ceiling setting. There is educational achievement with this unit of a high order, made easier by its simplicity. It does require a very dark room but that fact makes it seem somehow even more private and wonderful.
