14 DAY TRIAL // Since ages ago, humans have been fascinated by the night sky, with all its stars and constellations, comets, the Moon and other celestial bodies; our civilization has also created stargazers and all sorts of mystic preoccupations while aiming to decipher a message potentially hidden in the trajectories of the stars and other cosmic objects. Nevertheless, we've come a long way from where we were some 2,000 years ago; but it looks like there still are a lot of things to be discovered.
Humans still look at the night sky with reverence and sometimes in fear even though space explorations, telescopes, radio telescopes and an increasing number of science branches seem to tell them more about the stars than ever before. Space science is something extremely serious and here's where the Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium comes in: this nifty “science toy” brings stars and cosmic events closer, within reach in your very own living room, helping your kids learn more about space and our planet in a very attractive way.
Most of you have visited a planetarium and we're sure that almost everyone has gazed at the clear night sky at least once. Do you remember how cool everything was, watching through the darkness the smooth and almost surreal movement of the stars, or the fast flickering of shooting stars? Now, you can enjoy the same experience in your home, thanks to the Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium.
The Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium is a high-tech gadget capable of bringing around 10,000 stars in your room at the touch of a button. Japanese toy manufacturer Sega has come up with the latest version of its acclaimed Planetarium series, loaded with more features and able to create an even more immersive star-watching experience.
While perfect for teaching your kids astronomy, the Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium can also be used as an exquisite ambient tool: imagine having a glass of champagne with your lover or simply relaxing under the lifelike clear night sky while enjoying your favorite music. Even more, thanks to its small dimensions, the Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium can be easily carried along as you travel or to another room if needed.
This Planetarium comes with special full moon and Earth projection discs and a random-time shooting star function. Add in the timer function, the 1kg weight, two color finish options, and you'll certainly enjoy this toy more than you've expected. The Sega HomeStar PRO Planetarium is available at Brando's for a very neat price of $185.90, which makes it perfect for a high-tech gift as well. More details here.
