Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The National Geographic Planetarium is a globe of the night sky that projects the stars onto your walls and ceiling. The globe slowly revolves to show how the stars move across the night sky, and use the included pointer to locate constellations, it's your very own planetarium.

Whilst it will project against a ceiling in large rooms it is used to its best advantage placed against a single clear white wall. Children can highlight points of interest by using the LED light pointer, and they can learn about the stars in the accompanying manual. By listening to the commentary about the planets (they do not appear as part of the light show) your child can learn about them with the CyberSky CD.

The CD-Rom is a fun, educational programme that's packed with information and offers accurate charts which include stars, constellations, deep sky and solar system objects and other astronomical phenomena.

And then, when you have finished learning, it becomes a soothing night light, watch the stars on your ceiling as you drift off to sleep.

National Geographic Planetarium is a toy, and it's suitable for children aged 8 years and older. The required 6 AA batteries are not included.

Box Contents

  • 1x globe
  • 1x light stand and motor
  • 1x pointer
  • Manual
  • CD Rom
  • Instruction manual

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this like the plague!!, 4 Dec 2006
By Turvy the Cat "turvy" (North Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
We bought this for our daughter who is interested in ASTRONOMY (!) and wished we hadn't. It is of poor quality, when you press the button to start the thing rotating you get a short, tinny commentary about ASTROLOGY (!!). It comes with a CD which has PC software on it. Nowhere on the box or in the booklet does it give minimum specs for the computer and as a Mac user it is useless. The box gives the impression that it is for budding astronomers but the commentary and the booklet devote themselves to what can best be described as populist nonsense. The starscape projected on the walls and ceiling is blurred unless the toy is held less than 60cm from the ceiling (which is OK for me. I'm 1.83m tall!) but not a lot of use to a 7 year-old.

I can think of nothing to recommend this and suggest to all that you steer clear of this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars should have been better, 25 Dec 2006
By P. St Clair (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
what a dissapointment!!!!!
The horrible and very short robot voice commentary is very hard to understand and annoying, and we cannot see the projected image on the walls as it is blurred unless VERY VERY close. Also the unit does not rotate very well so you only get to see a very small portion of the solar sky actually projected onto the wall anyway.
This should have been fun and educational for my seven year old son and it was neither, very frustrating and disappointing
PInk :-(

1.0 out of 5 stars A Travesty, 21 Jan 2007
By Mr. A. R. Nixon MPS (Perth, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This is rubbish. It definitely doesn't do what it says on the tin. The image is blurred no matter what you do. The sound is tinny and inaudible. The software is five years old(2002). It should never have got on to the market! Avoid anything from this company if this is typical of its products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor
This is flimsy, the audio is terrible and the projection blurry. It doesn't deliver, which is a real shame as the basic idea is a good one, ruined by shoddy execution. Poor value.
