Gakken Home Planetarium
Hobbyist self-assembly kit
Throw 10,000 bright stars onto the walls of your living room with the Gakken Home Planetarium kit. Easy to assemble, the pinhole planetarium uses a small light bulb and a micro-perforated dodecahedron to cast the stars, galaxies, and constellations of the northern hemisphere onto your walls.
Three years in the making, the planetarium was designed using records from JAXA, the Japanese space and aviation research institute, to ensure high accuracy and a comprehensive collection of cosmic bodies. Kids love seeing their room covered in stars, but the planetarium also adds a very cool atmosphere to studies, living rooms, or bedrooms.
