Description

Why does winter last so long, night comes so soon, and the moon is a crescent again?
The UGEARS Mechanical Tellurion 3D puzzle for adults help you clarify time and space questions. This gorgeous 3d wooden model kit for adults is a 3D representation of the Earth's movements and interplay with respect to the moon and the sun. Ugears is proud to present the Mechanical Tellurion, an accurate wooden model representation of our corner of the universe. A tellurion (also spelled tellurian, tellurium, and sometimes called a loxocosm), is an ingenious mechanism that depicts the cosmic dance between Sun, Earth and Moon. The causes of day and night, the phases of the moon, and the changing seasons are seen and understood according to the movements of this 3D puzzle.

It moves
Similar to other engineering toys and 3D model kits for kids and adults, this mechanical puzzle moves accurately and smoothly. Turn the handle to set the closely calibrated system of gears in motion. One turn of the handle = one rotation of the Earth on its axis = one day. It can be manually adjusted or "tuned" to provide an accurate depiction of the relative positions of the sun, Earth and moon on any given day.
It answers questions
This solar system model for adults and kids demonstrates the regular cycles of day and night, the phases of the moon, the changing of the seasons, and the passing of years. You can accurately visualize and explain to your child why it’s winter in Australia when it’s summer in the USA; why it’s early morning in Tokyo and sunset in Buenos Aires; and why the moon seems to change its shape and position.
It delights
Once assembled, you will enjoy showing it to your family and friends and talking about the heavens, the seasons, and the concept of time itself. The Tellurian model building kit is a valuable gift for anyone interested in space, time, astronomy, or star gazing.
Give or assemble this mechanical marvel with joy. Welcome the Mechanical Tellurion to your collection.
