HOME PLANETARIUM
This is the most
advanced desktop planetarium
available for home
use. Designed by the
renowned Takayuki Ohira
(Google him if you like),
who has been recognized
by the Guiness Book of
World Records as the
builder of "the world's
most advanced planetarium"
for exhibitions
and museums. It projects
a realistic image of the
heavens—over 10,000
stars—as they appear
without light pollution. It can accept one of two high-resolution
disks (one disk includes constellation drawings and the other displays
the stars) that are illuminated by a bright LED built into the
globe, and projected onto walls or ceilings by an optical-quality
adjustable focus lens.
The planetarium has a whisper-quiet motor that slowly simulates
the turning of the Earth by making the projected image move
across a wall or ceiling. It can also randomly generate a simulated
meteor that streaks across the ceiling. The projection angle can
be adjusted to suit any room, and it has a timer that automatically
turns off the unit after you fall asleep. Comes with 120-240 volt AC adapter.
