Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is a vast disk-shaped system of 200 to 400 billion stars. The sun is but one of them - located 30,000 light-years away from its center, close to the inner edge of the Orion spiral arm. Leave the solar system, and find your way among the stars in our solar neighborhood by constructing a 13-1/2" x 10-3/4" x 9-1/2" 3-D model of the Milky Way galaxy. This model shows the actual position of the sun and the 36 brightest stars within 100 light-years. The kit contains star bases, columns, a back wall, beads, and plastic line to construct your model and mount it in a full-color frame. Also included is a 32-page instruction booklet.
