Thames & Kosmos Planetarium Projector STEM Kit 9-12 years, two-in-one projector with 32 space images

The Thames & Kosmos STEM Planetarium Projector kit transforms a bedroom into a planetarium, bringing the night sky, planets, and extragalactic phenomena directly onto the ceiling and walls of the room. It consists of two projectors in one, a fascinating instrument designed for astronomy and space science enthusiasts. The first is a rotating dome that projects accurate astronomical star maps, with star charts included for both the northern and southern hemispheres.

The second projector brings space-related images, including the eight planets, eight human-made space objects such as rockets and satellites, and eight extragalactic phenomena, such as nebulae and galaxies. In total, the kit contains 4 discs with 8 images each, meaning 32 space images, which are kept in a dedicated storage compartment for the image discs.

The kit includes a rotating dome with star maps for the northern and southern hemispheres, LED lights, focusable lenses for a clear projection, and a night light mode with an automatic shut-off timer at 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Power is supplied via a USB cable. The night mode with a timer allows for falling asleep under the starry sky without needing additional intervention from the child or parents.

The product is versatile in its placement: it can be placed on a flat surface like a desk or a nightstand, or hung on a wall. It stimulates a passion for astronomy and space sciences in a visual and engaging way, providing real astronomical information, as the star maps are accurate for both hemispheres.
