What Makes this set WOW?

+

Orrery Crank Mechanism: Allows for smooth, simultaneous simulation of the movement of the Earth and Moon around the Sun with a single knob. It is an interactive way to learn celestial mechanics and observe the interactions of celestial bodies.

+

Month and Moon Phase Indicator: Printed details at the base allow you to track your progress through the astronomical year and lunar cycles. Thanks to this, the model serves as a functional educational tool for learning about the seasons and the calendar.

+

Representation of the tilt of the Earth's axis: The design takes into account the actual tilt of the Earth's axis, which allows you to physically demonstrate the reason for the creation of seasons during orbital movement. This is a unique feature that increases the scientific value of the STEM set.

+

Exclusive printed elements: The set includes specially printed hemispheres representing the Earth with continents and the Sun, which completely eliminates the need to use stickers. This ensures a professional appearance of the model and high durability of graphic details.
