The Motorised Solar System brings the wonders of space right into your classroom or home. This 2-in-1 educational model features a rotating display of eight planets, the sun, and Earth's moon, all set on a base that mimics their real-life orbits. The planets rotate at two different speeds, just as they do in space, providing a dynamic and engaging way to explore our solar system. Turn off the lights and use the constellation dome to project a starry night sky onto the ceiling, creating an immersive planetarium experience. Complete with an LED light-up sun, a night light with an auto shutoff, and a multilingual guide book packed with solar system facts.
