Review: Prefect for what I wanted it to do! - I really liked how it was easy to put together, the timer goes for 15 mins which is perfect for my 3 year old son. He loves the earth that is pictured here. It has a focus to easily make the planet clear. It takes 4 AA batteries, which is great for moving it to whatever side of the room I want it on. The stars kindof generic but he loves when the rotate. This is the prefect gift for my autistic son that loves the solar system, we pick what planet he wants to look at every night.
Review: Great, but a little pricey. - Kids love it. Makes a great nightlight and/or activity. A little pricey at $40. So dont let the kids break it too fast, its plastic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this show all 8 planets?**
A: If I'm not mistaken, it does all 8. Plus it does the black hole, milky way, the moon, astronaut, satellite, space station, etc.

**Q: How many movies does ir have**
A: well it has three disks with like 12 images on each which is nice but focusing them on the wall is tricky.  In the end I got a cheap projector for my laptop.

**Q: Projector keeps turning off after about 15 to 30 minutes. Is there a way to make it stay on longer?**
A: How can i turn it to stay on longer?

**Q: Can I buy extra discs?**
A: We don't make any other discs -- just the discs that come in the box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, but a little pricey.
*by M***S on December 14, 2019*

Kids love it. Makes a great nightlight and/or activity. A little pricey at $40. So dont let the kids break it too fast, its plastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soothing, covers a wide area of ceiling and definitely worth your money
*by J***C on May 1, 2021*

Initially when I was researching home planetariums, I was put off by some of the negative reviews on this product, and instead convinced myself to shell out $250 for the Sega Flux (you can see my review under that). I promptly returned it the next day and ordered the Smithsonian after all. It’s still not super realistic and honestly, a kid’s nightlight would probably do the job just as well, but it’s soothing, pretty and covers a large swath of ceiling, and you can have just stars or mix it up with pics of the moon, planets or spaceships if you choose. And we’ll worth the $40.
