Garbage
The pictures are good. The star map part is complete garbage. Save your money by buying a more expensive one somewhere else.

Awful
Total waste of money. Packaged nicely but no substance. Too weak to project onto anything. Do not buy!

My kids and I love this product. The constellations are awesome, and we love that you can superimpose the other space images (which are also great) on the stars. We also love how the stars can rotate. We had trouble finding alternatives that have both space images and constellations. My 6 year old son has fallen asleep to it every night this week. Great value and educational product. My kids are fascinated with it.

Update:Less than a week after having this it broke. It was VERY gently used. It just sat on the table the whole time. After a few days, it started turning itself off after less than a minute of being on. We made sure the issue wasnât the outlet or power block. The issue was definitely the item itself. Donât waste your money. Weâre returning it.Itâs an ok product. A little over priced for what it is though. I think $15-20 would be more appropriate.Pros:-different sky dome options-fair definition-plenty of sky object disk options (those are small but clear images)-small footprint-lightweightCons:-loud when rotating (not great when using for bedtime)-the domes are a little fuzzy even after the protective film is removed-only has a blue light option (I thought it came with a white light)-short power cord-doesnât come with wall adapter-the whole thing is made of cheap plastic-the domes are made of an especially thin, cheap plastic (I donât expect this thing to last long)Not super impressed, but my baby likes it well enough to keep.

For a less expensive product, I think it does alright. The throw range of the projecter is pretty limited, so if you use this in a large room, the stars and constellation lines will get blurry. But when it is close to the wall or ceiling, the projection does appear nice and crisp.This is not a major quibble, but it’s funny to me that they took the time and attention to detail to make the Northern and Southern hemisphere projection domes pretty accurate to the actual night sky with the positions of all the constellations – but didn’t take the time to notice they had imprinted them on the dome reversed horizontally. When you look straight at the dome, they do appear to be correct, but the projection on the wall comes out reversed so all the constellations are projected in the opposite direction (horizontally) from how they appear in the real night sky.Again, not a deal breaker, but it seemed like an easy problem to correct during the development of this product.

I bought this for my husband but when he used it he discovered the picture was backwards. The seller was very responsive and quickly sent a new one. It is a very good value for your money and easy to use.

How enraging. This does not come with a USB power adapter. This means that there is no way to charge it. What a cheapskate company to not include this! They should have a big warning label on box saying âUSB power adapter sold separatelyâ and should have this listed at the top of the description. My children are very disappointed and I already wasted my time reading the descriptions and following the tedious steps for attaching the dome. Thames and Cosmos, if you care about customer service you will send me a USB power adapter free of charge.
