## Description

The Great Explorations 3-D Planets in a Tube from University Games glow longer and brighter with Glominite. Transform your room into a glowing galaxy! Use the 3-D planets separately or combine with other Great Exploration sets to brighten any room. Includes 8 colorful 3-D glowing planets, 1 glowing 3-D pluto, adhesive putty and 25ft of string. Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Review: Recommended - They glow in the dark. Small. They are hard and not soft. You can tie a tiny string though the holes on the top.
Review: Cheaper than most cat toy sets & ♥♥♥ - I agree with the previous reviewer who wrote that this is toy way overpriced and should be in a dollar store, especially since the "planets" (plus Pluto) are cheap plastic of terrible quality. They don't reflect reality at all. I mean they barely try. I love astronomy and it took me a bit to guess which planet is which, e.g differentiating between the polkadot gray vs.polkadot light-blue marble (Mercury vs. Pluto?), the purple sphere with a blue stripe and white diamonds (Neptune? Uranus?), or the yellow with orange markings or the orange with red... (Venus and Mars?? Saturn, Jupiter and Earth are sort-of obvious). However, I'm still giving this 5 stars. They were perfect as kitschy decorations on my hat for the March for Science 2017. Afterwards, I recycled them as toys for my kittens. Cats LOVE ♥ these planets and I keep buying them as they get lost under my furniture. This is my third set, plus I bought one for a fellow cat parent friend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiny Glowing Planets
*by K***Y on September 28, 2025*

My space loving six year old loves these! The sticky tack included didn’t work for hanging the planets from the ceiling. The string rips right through it. You either have to use tape or tie them to a thumb tack. They look very cool with a black light!
