Giant Solar System Mobile

This large solar system mobile can be hung from the ceiling to illustrate the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto around our Sun.

The Giant Solar System Mobile is a mobile for grownups or children. The planets are suspended from 3-independently moving rods around the 19 cm diameter Sun. This mobile will fascinate the young in age and youthful in heart. The whole mobile measures 137 cm (54") across. Jupiter is 14.5 cm and Earth is 9 cm in diameter.

Gazing in the night sky we wonder about the size and scope of the universe. Within that magnitude our solar system seems infinite and overwhelming. It’s easier to understand native creation myths, Newtonian and Galilean theories, and great historical discoveries when viewing the solar system on a smaller, more comprehensible human scale. Reduced to both scientific and decorative models of our planetary system, revolving around the sun and not the earth as early scientists believed, this mobile will fascinate the young in age and youthful in heart.
