Product Description
Product Description
Watch as hundreds of stars and constellations are projected on your ceiling and walls. Star Theaters with included Meteor Maker lets kids make realistic light streaks across the ceiling including Halley's comet! With a bright halogen light source and accuracy to season, month, day and hour - it's like being in a real planetarium!
Manufacturer's Description
Transform your room into a planetarium filled with stars, planets and constellations. Firstly ensure that the unit is placed within three feet of the object wall or ceiling. The high intensity halogen bulb is an excellent light source for projecting the stars and constellations onto the object wall or ceiling. You can project dozens of stars, planets and constellations onto ceilings and walls in your own home. This unique product has settings for season, month, day and hour so that you can replicate the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere for any given date!
The Star Theatre includes a fascinating 45 minute CD audio tour of the night sky to use whilst you are gazing at the stars and comes with a hand-held Meteor Maker device to add streaking meteors on command; this includes a real slide of Haley's Comet.
The constellation dome can also be used outdoors as a 3-D Glow-in-the-Dark star map with a built in compass to locate the constellations in the night sky.
With lights, sounds and fascinating facts, it's just like being in a real planetarium at home. The Star Theatre is great fun and a fantastic way to learn more about the night sky. Just the inspiration required for budding astronomers.

Very diappointed with this product. Very cheaply made. Light is blurry & doesn't project clear images onto the ceiling unless you hold the unit above your head (& a foot or two from the ceiling).
'shooting star tool' is little more than a very very cheap mini torch.
Only rotates if you turn the lamp manually.
Would rate this as worth $5 max. Any child would break it in 2 minutes.

The Uncle Milton Star Theater 2 planetarium I bought recently is possibly the worst present I have ever bought for my 4 year old son. The description of this and the reality are two different things completely. "Transform your darkened room into a 360 degree space theater!". The truth is that this is a cheap piece of plastic that does not work at all. To see anything on the ceiling you need to climb up and hold it about 1 foot away from the ceiling, otherwise it is all completely blurred. The "interactive meteor maker"!!!! is a small cheap plastic torch at best and the CD audio tour is an awful person chattering on about nothing.
This was the number one most disappointing christmas present ever.... and what a shame as my 4 year old was so excited when he opened it. It is certainly not worth the money I paid and in my view is not even fit for purpose and possibly in breach of the trades descriptions act!!

I bought this toy online having read its description, I put the batteries in before wrapping it for xmas for my grandchildren gave it a quick try to see all worked. I was appauled it absolutely useless focal length is about18 inches and just a blur if you place it on a table, meteor is is a pathetic torch with a pinhole in it basically.
The whole thing is a total fraud and a case for trades description.

Star theatre - could be cheaper
This is expensive for what it is. It is not very strong and the projected image quality decays with distance. It is very educational and my son is very interested in it. Read more

Adequate Astronomy
The `Star Theater2' is somewhat flimsy and is definitely a toy rather than an astronomy instrument, but it can provide factual instruction and much fun for its targetted 8+ years... Read more

Uncle Milton Star Theater
The star theater is a terrible toy, you have to hold it up in the air to be able to see anything. The instructions that come with it are not very clear. Read more
