Description

With minimal assembling, create a rotating model of the Solar System. With the sun at the center, attach the planets into the tower to see the planets rotate around the sun. Four AA batteries (not included) fit into the base of the tower and an LED light makes the sun glow. Change the upper dome of the sun to view Northern Hemisphere constellations. This model has a night-light feature with automatic shut-off after 20 minutes. The sun is 4" diameter; planets measure from about .75" to 2.5" diameter, and the included booklet informs about the planets with assembly instructions. ~ Donna
