As the world turns
This lego was the best set I have built. It was easy to build and the result is a beautiful sun with a revolving earth and moon. The best part is the revolving parts as you wind it up. It’s fun to watch and show off to family and friends. I hope you make it your next Lego set. I may buy another one just to have.

Fun educational model!
This is a great Lego set that is fun to build and provides a great model to depict the earth’s orbit around the sun. I particularly enjoy how you can track the month as well as the stages of the moon as it spins with the hand crank. Highly recommend for anyone who has an interest in astronomy, science or even the technical details of the different gear ratios used to accomplish the synchronized spinning and rotations of the set.

The Universe
This Lego set had some problematic instructions. After I finished assembling all parts, I found that the remote group involving the Earth and moon did not rotate like it was meant to do. The toggles and long rotation arm did not turn the remote parts.

Fun Project
My son saw this at a museum gift shop and was interested, but it was really expensive. We checked online and found it cheaper at Best Buy, so we purchased it from there instead. He really enjoyed putting this together. Everything looks and works as expected.
