Like a real planetarium, the Smithsonian Planetarium Projector brings the nighttime sky into any room. Just aim the projector at a light-colored wall or ceiling, and it projects a rotating star pattern of the northern sky. Included with the projector are three disks that feature 24 high-definition space images to project alongside the stars: planets, nebulae, moons, asteroids, and other celestial bodies, as well as a satellite, space station, astronaut, space shuttle and more. Included STEM educational content enables kids to identify the images on the disks. The Smithsonian Planetarium projector also features a 15-minute auto-shut-off timer, allowing kids to fall asleep under a magical night sky. The toy requires 3 AA batteries (not included).
