Our solar system is so much better than the original, because it's made of glow-in-the-dark-in-colors foam and is light enough to hang from your bedroom ceiling. The original would just pull the ceiling right down on top the bed and make a terrible mess. This easy-to-make mobile comes with the sun and all the planets, including the much-maligned Pluto, and a Space Shuttle, plus a couple of random stars, cord and a mounting bracket. Planets range from 3/4" to 2-1/2" dia.
