Science Reviews

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 she was very disappointed to see what a crap it turned out to be. Now the toy just sat at a corner. Big waste of money.

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 too effective.
