HomeStar - 21st Century Home Planetarium Review

Jeff writes "Direct from Japan, the SegaToys HomeStar is a unique home projector that turns any room into a planetarium, giving a clear view of the night sky. Using interchangeable plates, it's capable of displaying up to 10,000 stars of either northern or southern hemisphere, as well as their constellations. The starfield can move on a timer to simulate the earth's rotation. Also comes with a meteor generating function and sleep timer. Makes a great gift for the dad who has everything, or people who live in light-polluted areas." Check out Jeff's review of the unit.

Not so much that people hate to go outside, but even where I live, in a relatively small city, the light pollution is enough to obscure a good portion of the stars. (To the point that they have to move the observatory every couple of decades, since 'civilisation' keeps on encroaching)

Exellent unit

I imported one of these a while ago. Excellent unit. Great for teaching. Also gives an awesome effect in the living room at night time when it's too rainy to go out :) /starnut
