A great model
I used it to explain seasons to my 7th grade science class. I loved that the months were there to depict the sun's rays angles on the earth as it corresponds to the seasons.

No good
Really cheap, just a stationary model that doesnโt rotate. Donโt waste your money!

Great educational tool
I have used it for years, and it has held up well. It is a great way to demonstrate Moon phases and eclipses. Lots of people want to know where I got it and how they can buy one.

Just a little disappointed. Thought the rotation and revolution would be 'automatic' ...
Just a little disappointed. Thought the rotation and revolution would be 'automatic' and included in the motorized part of this. But, I can also see this could be more useful. As I can start/stop as I wish. Without a motor. WOULD be nice if the moon would automatically revolve the Earth as the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Spelling errors
Uh, Northern is spelled wrong on all four sections of the baseโฆ.๐ and the moon is too low so when you try to see a full moon, itโs an eclipse. Kind of a big miss.

Great educational tool
Great model, well built. Yes there are limits to it, as there are to any model. But itโs very solid

Big Flaw for Moon Phase Demonstration
Because the moon in this model is always in the ecliptic (not tilted or even elevated with respect to the earth-sun orbit), the full moon position is always a lunar eclipse, i.e. you can not demonstrate a full moon. Further, the geometry of the model is such that quarter moons (when the light bulb rays are perpendicular to the earth-moon viewpoint) occur too early with respect to the new moon position. These two things (especially the first point) make explaining moon phases more, not less, confusing to kids (and adults). Making this all worse - none of this is explained in the accompanying guide book.

Fake
We don't even see this.In reality, it's only a model.This does not make sense in relation to what we see with our own two eyes.It's fake but fun I guess
