We are having a banquet for the high school and our theme is space, would these planets look good individually to go in the centerpieces??

No not really. They aren't the right scale or colors. You'd be better off painting some spheres yourself which is what I wish I had done.

No, I would not use this product for that. To get the best effect, the planets need to be hung from the ceiling and should be "charged" with a light for awhile so that the planets glow. Also, the stars that come with the product are very bad and could not be used. Go elsewhere.

It may be very tricky some are small the bigger Planets are two piece so you might be able to do something there. My daughter said she would NOT recommend it for a center piece, unless you buy a set for each table . Hope this helps you out.

If you're planning on putting a few in each centerpiece, you could get away with it. They're not that big. Each planet has a little hook on it to hang from the ceiling -- you could use some floral wire with that hook to get them to stand up.

I do a star align every time I set up. I do a lot of outreaches at schools and locations are all different. Also, as another response mentioned, you want to make sure date and time are accurate.

Yes. One count is one full package with all the planets (in very good detail). They are a pretty good size so even hung from the ceiling they can be seen really well.

The pieces are extra large with a nice glossy clean finish. My 3 1/2 year old niece did almost all of it by herself. She enjoys it as she's also learning the planets too.

Yes. The base has the names of the planets on it so you know where to stick each one.

Not at all. My husband did the research for his gift. It is really nice quality for the money, you won't be disappointed. He was able to see the rings around saturn. It's heavy and works best to sit it on a table or something very stable. It was exciting to see so much with it.

Cute idea. I would say yes as they are very light. If I remember correctly...They have a hole drilled in each corner. Good luck and have fun.

Yes the sun should absolutely be included and I would suggest that it is double or even triple the size of Jupiter

yes last night we were looking at Venus with my son. its ok for the money, moon looks the best. good for now and my 9 y/o

Yes. You can see Saturn's rings and get a good look at Mars and Jupiter as well.

It is normal. all land objects will appear like that. You should be good for looking at space objects.

The cake balls are about an inch in diameter. One thing I've noticed: make sure you don't over fill them especially in the center of the pan. I've used scratch ingredients and pre-packaged cake mix for these and the pre-packaged seems to puff up a lot more. If you over-fill the center cups, you'll have to do some trimming because the balls will all look like Saturn. :)

No, I haven't noticed any planets or constellations for that matter. It's a great effect...peaceful...and very romantic, dancing under the starlight in your own home, if you're looking for that. You can have both lights on or just the green laser star pattern or the blue nebula cloud. I think it's pretty awesome, myself.

Yes, you will. With my five inch telescope, I can see the blue color of Neptune pretty well. To see closer planets with color you will need to develop a lot more skill. First of all, some planets are very bright at some time of the year because they reflect a lot of sun-light. Hence, you may not see the color very well, but you certainly can see Jupiter's bands (of course not "hubble quality") with planning (and proper eyepieces). Not to mention rings of Saturn, which are absolute pleasure to watch. Right now the scope is around 100 dollars, which is a great price for anyone as a beginner scope. Clear skies! Yes, you will.

I don't think the stars and vines would look good.I would go with salt houses and sunflower garland. 😊

Yes, that's what I did actually. Some are close together but I think it looks much better with them randomly spaced.

They are good for astronomy. I live in Los Angeles... and light pollution is horrible... I am able to see more start than with the naked eye. I have seen star clusters (M7), Andromeda galaxy (appears as smudge)... I was not able to see rings of Saturn with these binoculars... Saturn appears as an oblong light, a telescope would be a better option to view rings. I have not had a chance to look at Jupiter.
