10 best home planetariums

This 17-piece play set is designed for construction lovers, so it will please both the process and the result. The product is based on ABS plastic and cardboard elements: cylindrical tubes, panels with constellations, a dial with a scale. You can set the latitude and see the corresponding stars. A small light bulb with a base was chosen as a light source, it is enough for home experiments.

Everything you need is thought out in the package (except batteries), from double-sided adhesive tapes and glue to plastic rings and detailed instructions. You have to buy 3 AA batteries separately. Do-it-yourself assembly is elementary and does not take much time. The planetarium is recommended for children over 6 years old - they will be curious and not tiring to interact with the designer.
