Planetarium - Eaglemoss planetarium - 2000-2010

PLANETARIUM - Eaglemos Fully functional! Published 2008
This scale model contains the most recent additions to the solar system.
By using carefully calculated gear ratios, the movements of the mechanical solar system closely correspond to those of the real planets.
As soon as the mechanical solar system is set in motion, the solemn procession of planets around the Sun begins.
It is immediately clear that all the planets revolve in orbits around the central Sun, each at its own speed.
The planets include, in order, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Eris.
The planet arms are firmly attached to the gear arms to allow them to rotate. The planet arms can, however, be unscrewed and set by hand in the same direction,
so that the planetarium can be safely stored.
Even during shipping the arms are aligned in one direction.

The planetarium is double-packaged: first in a plastic box and then in a cardboard box.
