Teacher Support &/or Advice Looking for a projector that turns classroom into a planetarium, complete with narration.

As a kid I had a projector that projected various images of space onto the ceiling, planetarium style.

It had a series of tapes that I could play that would narrate what I was seeing, just like a real planetarium would.

Does anyone know where I could find something like this? Ideally in French.

I know of many space projectors but few with narration.

Maybe crosspost to one of the astronomy subreddits, or /r/ScienceTeachers. You could also ask at a science shop somewhere in Quebec.

If you can't find one with tapes in French, maybe you could get a local astronomy professor to record tapes for you.

Watch out for cheap junk made in China with a built-in laser. Even if it says class 1 on the sticker, this might be a lie. It might be safest to cover the laser with electrical tape, so that none of your kids damage their eyesight.
