HomeStar ProEver since I was a child I have dreamed of having my very own planetarium and Segatoys appear to have finally created a device to make that dream a reality: The HomeStar Pro.

 

The HomeStar Pro is a small spherical device that can project 10,000 stars on your ceiling or wall at home - just like a real planetarium. The unit is portable and the teacher in me thinks the HomeStar Pro would be an ideal teaching aid to learn about our universe.

 

Read on for features and specifications..
