The Thames & Kosmos Planetarium Projector Essential STEM Tool | Illuminate Your Room as a Planetarium Theater | Dual Projector Casts Star Maps & Space-Themed Images from the James Webb Space Telescope

My kids and I love this product. The constellations are awesome, and we love that you can superimpose the other space images (which are also great) on the stars. We also love how the stars can rotate. We had trouble finding alternatives that have both space images and constellations. My 6 year old son has fallen asleep to it every night this week. Great value and educational product. My kids are fascinated with it.

The media could not be loaded. Update:Less than a week after having this it broke. It was VERY gently used. It just sat on the table the whole time. After a few days, it started turning itself off after less than a minute of being on. We made sure the issue wasn’t the outlet or power block. The issue was definitely the item itself. Don’t waste your money. We’re returning it.It’s an ok product. A little over priced for what it is though. I think $15-20 would be more appropriate.Pros:-different sky dome options-fair definition-plenty of sky object disk options (those are small but clear images)-small footprint-lightweightCons:-loud when rotating (not great when using for bedtime)-the domes are a little fuzzy even after the protective film is removed-only has a blue light option (I thought it came with a white light)-short power cord-doesn’t come with wall adapter-the whole thing is made of cheap plastic-the domes are made of an especially thin, cheap plastic (I don’t expect this thing to last long)Not super impressed, but my baby likes it well enough to keep.

For a less expensive product, I think it does alright. The throw range of the projecter is pretty limited, so if you use this in a large room, the stars and constellation lines will get blurry. But when it is close to the wall or ceiling, the projection does appear nice and crisp.This is not a major quibble, but it's funny to me that they took the time and attention to detail to make the Northern and Southern hemisphere projection domes pretty accurate to the actual night sky with the positions of all the constellations - but didn't take the time to notice they had imprinted them on the dome reversed horizontally. When you look straight at the dome, they do appear to be correct, but the projection on the wall comes out reversed so all the constellations are projected in the opposite direction (horizontally) from how they appear in the real night sky.Again, not a deal breaker, but it seemed like an easy problem to correct during the development of this product.

This is a cool little planetarium toy. Excellent value for the cost. There are three different star domes that are interchangeable. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE THIN PLASTIC SHEETING THAT IS PROTECTING THE DOMES! We didn’t realize this at first and the projected stars were blurry until we removed it. Other than that super easy to use. I like the white color, hangs nicely on my kid’s wall.There’s also a secondary projector for putting images of space things on the ceiling or wall… like planets and spaceships and stuff.And a great out space science poster too.

It's a cool item with neat features, but I made the mistake of not removing the film from the domes. It affected the clarity of the images. Once I removed the film - duh, the images were crystal clear. PS. I love that you have the option to hang it on a wall.

How enraging. This does not come with a USB power adapter. This means that there is no way to charge it. What a cheapskate company to not include this! They should have a big warning label on box saying “USB power adapter sold separately” and should have this listed at the top of the description. My children are very disappointed and I already wasted my time reading the descriptions and following the tedious steps for attaching the dome. Thames and Cosmos, if you care about customer service you will send me a USB power adapter free of charge.

It's a lot smaller than the pictures. Pretty flimsy. Would not recommend, unless it's for a 5 year old.

Growing up, I always enjoyed trips to the planetarium...it was one of the few field trips that I actually looked forward to every year. I had always wanted a projector like this growing up, but the ones they made back then were pretty pricey. The price on this one was just right, so I decided to give it a shot.This little Planetarium Projector is pretty cool. You get star maps to look at while stats are projected onto the ceiling. There's also a mini slide show feature where you get these disks you can change in and out that have different real life space themed images as seen from the James Webb Space Telescope. The only small downside, is the light in the projector is not bright enough...you really have to get the room as dark as possible to be able to see the images projected on the walls and ceilings...or sit the projector closer to the ceiling.I would definitely recommend this Planetarium Projector for adults and kids alike. Of course I have fun playing with the different images and star maps when my niece is visiting, but when it's just the hubby and I...we turn off the lights, turn on the projector and watch our favorite space movies like we're in space too.
