Here’s an interesting gadget/toy for your family to enjoy – especially if they’re would be astronomers. It’s called the Sega Toys HomeStart Planetarium. Yes it looks like a mini Death Star but it’s really a small projection system that displays the entire night sky onto your blank wall or ceiling. There’s even an option to see the constellations but unfortunately there’s no easy way to identify them if you’re not already familiar with them. The folks at the Gadgeteer reviewed the Planetarium and posted this verdict:

The HomeStar is an interesting gadget, but the 200 price tag makes it a little prohibitive for most casual astronomy buffs. In my opinion, this product is better suited for a class room setting, instead of a home.
