A ceiling instead of a sky, and two very different kinds · review
Brainstorm Toys' Deep Space Home Planetarium: a tabletop unit with two domes, one for star patterns and one for constellations, a slide projector with 24 NASA images, a rotating body and a night-light dome.
The Deep Space Home Planetarium has its own stand; its body rotates between a planetarium and a slide projector. The planetarium has two domes: one projects star patterns, the other constellations.
Three interchangeable discs carry 8 color NASA images each, 24 in all, projected up to one meter wide in a dark room. A secret code online unlocks facts about the night sky and each photograph.
A night-light dome turns it into a soft bedtime light.
A timer, and the power source in the bullets.
The same maker’s Space Torch shows the photographs only, for a third of the price.
