Product Description:
Look! It's Leo! This is one slick motorized solar system and planetarium from Educational Insights®. Make assembling it an educational exercise. Demonstrate how the planets circle the sun. The 4" dia sun is yellow plastic, lit with a krypton bulb. The planets are colored, reasonably proportional given their actual sizes, and marked with their symbols. They ride on black metal arms that disappear in the dark. The helpful instruction manual suggests activities, and includes a heliocentric longitude chart. Use it with the degree markings on the black-plastic base to show the positions of the planets on different dates. Replace the top half of the sun with the clear dome imprinted with labeled Northern-hemisphere constellations, and project them onto the walls and ceiling of your darkened classroom. About 9" high, with Pluto extending 15" from the center, and the other planets hanging out in their respective order. Comes with an AC adapter, but not with the (4) "C" batteries it needs. For grades 3 and up, and not for kids under three years of age. (Do you want to have to tell an E.R. nurse he ate Uranus?)

This "model" violates virtually every rule of modeling. The planets are equi-distant, painted the wrong color (I thought Neptune was Earth), and out of scale with each other and the sun. More appalling is that they all rotate at the same speed. A complete waste of money.
Why did I buy it when there were so many similar reviews?
Because I didn't buy it here and so I didn't read the reviews. Doh!

I bought this even after reading the reviews and my 5 year old son LOVES IT! Yea sure they all orbit at the same speed. For a 5 year old that likes planets this is great. He has not stopped playing with it since he opened it. He says it the best Christmas gift he got.

My complete disappointment in this product actually inspired me to write my first amazon review. The top half of the sun falls off if a cricket chirps too loudly and the "planetarium" part is nothing but a bunch of big blurry dots with illegible writing unless you hold it sideways 2 inches from the wall. Your child will get nothing from this product that they couldn't get from a cheap plastic mobile. Save your money.

It's the worst toy I ever purchased. The top half of the sun is supposed to click on, but it doesn't stay and falls off all the time. It's also supposed to project the planitarium on the ceiling, but the image is out of focus until you literally move the whole thing one inch away from the ceiling. Besides, planets move at the same speed, which is really ill designed for the expensive price. My 7-year-old child is very interested in solar system. She was very excited to bring the toy home. But ... Read More

My son liked this toy for a week or two, but now he is bored with it. It was good to show him a 3D model of the solar system, but I agree that it's wrong to have the planets all travelling at the same rate of speed. Since he wanted the toy to "do" something, he promptly took it apart. We are now missing Uranus! It does make a good decoration for his room, though, even though we are missing a planet. Also, the planetarium feature that is supposed to show the constellations on the ceiling was not ... Read More
