If you live in a populated area, chances are you have night time light pollution. Simply put, there's too much artificial light at night to allow the natural light of the stars to shine bright. That means that kids have never really seen the actual night sky in all its glory on a regular basis.
While this tiny facsimile of a night sky isn't the real McCoy, at least kids can use it to identify the stars in their proper places on the correct night. Just tap in the time, date and place, and the Star Theater reproduces your night sky right in the bedroom, complete with labels for proper star and planet identification. It's like having your very own planetarium, and is just the perfect gift for the curious nine year old in your life. This way, once you actually go camping or at least go somewhere without that light pollution, the kid can ID the stars.
