Sega Homestar PRO “Blue Earth” disc software

UPDATE: Get the new Sega Homestar Planetarium Disc Set here

While The Sega Homestar home planetarium series needs no introduction around here, the new Blue Earth disc certainly does. While the original Homestar planetarium came with only two basic Star Discs which focused on the stars and constellations, but since the updated Homestar PRO came out it’s been shipped with two colored star discs plus a wicked “full moon” disc with really intricate detail. This September we’ll be treated to the latest “software” for the Homestar PRO, the Blue Earth disc (actual projection picture below).

While not an actual picture of our home planet, the Blue Earth disc is a highly detailed CG recreation of what Earth looks like from space. Since the Homestar PRO uses three powerful LED lights, the ability to project is such high color is greatly increased from the original. We’re very excited about this, as it shows that Sega and Homestar creator Takayuki Ohira are hard at work bringing even more great discs to the series (Mars would be our next guess, but Neptune would be pretty cool too). Blue Earth will be available from September.

***UPDATE: Below is a much better picture of the real deal***
