This stunning fully electric model shows the planets orbiting the Sun at their correct relative speeds with a removable Star dome.

The planets from Mercury to Saturn orbit the Sun at their correct relative speeds and the Moon orbits the Earth in synchrony.

Subjects to study:

• The Planets in their Orbits (length of a year, inferior and superior planets and more)
• The Moon and its Phases
• Eclipse Basics
• The Time - solar, sidereal and G.M.T.

The orrery can have all its planets displayed or just one or two. The planets can be positioned for any year or month up to 2020. The speed and direction of rotation can be changed!

This planetarium presents an absolutely unique method of demonstrating celestial relationships. The Baader Planetarium consists of three units: the star globe being black and transparent simultaneously, the solar system including its electric drive system, located inside the globe and – finally – the planetarium’s base containing the control equipment and transformer. The celestial globe of the BAADER PLANETARIUM is made of plexiglass which has been subjected to a black color treatment to obtain approximately 5% transparency. This material provides an amazing optical effect: Under direct light the sphere will appear almost opaque due to the light absorbing and reflecting properties of the plexiglass.
