Levenhuk LabZZ Tellurion
A visual aid for studying astronomy and geography
Levenhuk LabZZ Tellurion is a 3D tabletop display model that shows how the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun. This simple mechanical model will help a child learn what causes the seasons change, why the Sun rises in the East and a year has twelve months. The Tellurion is an excellent visual aid for geography and astronomy school lessons. The pupils operate the movement of the celestial bodies and study what the Solar system looks like.
The device consists of the body and the stand joined by a screw. You can rotate the Earth globe around the Sun model counterclockwise with a user-friendly crank handle. Meanwhile, a miniature model of the Moon quickly orbits the Earth model. While Earth orbits around the Sun once, the Moon orbits Earth 12 times corresponding to the 12 months of a year.
There is a lamp and batteries inside the Sun model. The illumination can be turned on with a button that is in the lower part of the sphere.
The Tellurion is made of durable and safe plastic. The diameter of the Sun model is 100 mm, Earth's diameter is 85 mm and the diameter of the Moon is 18 mm.
Note: the Tellurion contains small parts! Do not allow small children to play with the Tellurion without adult supervision.
