Planetarium - Eaglemoss planetarium - 2000-2010

PLANETARIUM - Eaglemos Prima working! Released in 2008
This scale model includes the most recent additions to the solar system.
By using carefully calculated gear ratios, the movements of the mechanical solar system accurately match 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.
At a glance, it is clear that all the planets orbit the central Sun, each at its own speed.
The planets included are, in order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Eris.
The planet arms are firmly attached to the gear arms to make them rotate. However, the planet arms can be unscrewed and turned by hand in the same direction,
so that the planetarium can be stored safely.
The arms are also aligned in one direction for shipping.

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