Product Description
Observe the vastness of space in a dramatic light show! The "sun" is lighted with an ultra-bright 1000-hour light bulb inside a yellow orb to shine onto the planets as they orbit around it. The central tower and the planetary support rods are black so that they "disappear" in a darkened room for a spectacular effect. Base features planetary longitude marks so the planets can be set up to their correct positions. Plus, the unique stardome (included) converts the unit into a planetarium. Powered by four "C" batteries (not included) or A/C adapter (not included).

Good toy I bought one for my elder sister's son, then one for my son, now, I have to buy a same one for my younger sister's baby son, because he wanted a same night sky as his brothers!
I am afraid I have to buy one more for my another sister's new comer!
 Excellent solar system model March 28, 2008

I bought this, believe it or not, to teach my two-year-old granddaughter the solar system. She now knows most of the planets and loves to make them orbit the sun by turning the switch. It's an excellent model.
 great idea, but doesn't work January 22, 2007

This looked like a really neat way for our kids to learn more about the solar system. It even comes with a chart to (roughly) align the planets in relation to each other according to time of year. The planetarium feature is a bit dim - I can see the constellations, but can't read the names. Our motor feature doesn't work - the planets do not revolve. We haven't gotten around to sending it back yet. If we get one that works, I would give it a higher rating.
