Star Theatre Expansion Disk Earth and daytime Moon

Star Theatre Expansion Disk Earth and daytime Moon.

With the Star Theatreprojection planetarium from Sega Toys you will have a real portable planetarium equipped with a rotating movement that reproduces the appearance of the firmament throughout the year.

With adjustable projection angle and focus, automatic shut-off timer and shooting star function (shooting star effect appears), the Star Theatreprojection planetarium is one of the most advanced planetariums on the market.

As standard it is supplied with two interchangeable disks with the fixed stars of the northern hemisphere:

- night sky with about 60,000 stars

- night sky with drawn constellation lines.

Now,imagine seeing the sky from a different angle. The dream comes true with the additional disks for the fantastic planetarium Sega Toys Star Theater. These new disks allow you to travel to four different places in the universe without leaving home. You can prepare the planetarium for your next astronomical trip to the southern hemisphere, observe the Earth or the Moon by day or night, or even get up close to the Andromeda Galaxy. All this is finally possible with the new expansion disks.

The four additional disks can be purchased in two double packs, or purchased separately. The packs are DISK SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE+DISK ANDROMEDA and DISK DAYTIME EARTH AND MOON+DISK NIGHTTIME EARTH AND MOON.

ONLY ONE DISC IS SUPPLIED UNDER THIS REFERENCE:

EARTH DISK AND DIURNAL MOON:

ever thought of leaving the Earth's gravitational field and seeing our blue marble floating in the blackness of space? Or how about seeing the rising of the hidden face of the Moon?

Imagine floating in space and peering over the Indian Ocean to observe the bright full Moon in the background.

The disk shows the Earth as seen over the Cocos and Christmas Islands, not far from Indonesia's capital Jakarta. A bright full Moon is visible in the background. The Sun, viewer, Earth and Moon are nearly aligned. While the observer is about 700,000 km above the Earth towards the Sun, the Moon is about 384,400 km in the opposite direction behind the Earth. This alignment is very rare and has occurred only a few times: the disk depicts this alignment on March 1, 2002. In a perfect alignment, the Earth's shadow would be visible on the Moon; it would be a lunar eclipse. In the disk, the Earth and Moon have been magnified fifty times in order to make multiple details visible to the human eye. The high resolution of the disk shows the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia during the day, as well as Japan and Australia at sunset.

Key features of the expanding disks:

With the Star Theater planetarium you have technology that lets you dream. Imagine yourself watching the night sky with all its stars and beauty, while sitting comfortably on your couch. Finally, something is happening in your house since the Big Bang!

You will probably never have the opportunity to visit space. But with the new Sega Toys disks offered by Telescopiomania you do have the chance to bring the beauty of outer space into your home.

These additional disks have been made using data from a number of different NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Naval Observatory (USNO) missions.

Data from no less than 100,000,000 celestial objects have been recoded into more than 150,000 exposures in Arizona, the United States and Chile. They amount to more than 4.1 TB of raw data that have been processed for the generation of the night sky images used in the disks.

The images of the Earth have been created from data from a total of six missions over a decade. Images and measurements from NASA and NOAA missions have been combined to show us the Earth, sea ice, oceans, clouds, city lights, as well as topography. The images of the Moon are taken from the photographic record of the Clementine probe. More than 43,000 images have been recorded occupying more than 88 CDs, the images have a resolution of 100 meters per pixel.
