Overall, we think this is a cost-effective way to add immediate ambiance to a room, especially the room of a space lover. The sleep timer, which can be set to 45 or 90 minutes, either on the device itself or by using the supplied remote, is also useful for automatically turning the lights and lasers off without having to disturb your sleeping child. The operation of the rotating motor (only the nebula-inspired light rotates, not the lasers) is very quiet, near silent unless you press your ear against it, so it's suitable to use as a night light. The build quality is surprisingly really good it doesn't 'feel' like a toy, which means it would be suitable for teens (and even adults) as well as children. The astronaut's little arms are poseable, and even when it's not being used as a star projector, it still looks the part on a shelf as an ornament in its own right. The helmet attaches to the body with a strong magnet, so you can position it in any direction you want, even projecting it onto the floor.

The lights and lasers are cleverly integrated into the astronaut's space helmet. The astronaut's body slots into a stand that resembles the moon's surface with footprints on it. The bright, customizable lights and lasers rival some of the more expensive models out there too in fact, we're pretty sure it uses the same lighting module found in the Encalife Atmosphere Smart Galaxy Projector which costs much more. We're always dubious of novelty-shaped products, but we couldn't resist reviewing this on-brand astronaut wearing a space-walking suit, and despite the pretty boring packaging, we were pleasantly surprised with the build quality of the star projector inside. It still gets turned on every night as part of the usual bedtime routine and always receives an audible 'wow' when the lights and lasers flood the room. We have one of these novelty-shaped star projectors, currently residing on our nephew's bedside table, which it has done since our review last year. We've curated a best star projectors guide for those we think are worth the cash, rather than poor-quality novelty items lacking the 'wow' factor. In that guide, you'll find the Astronaut Starry Sky Projector, which earned its place in there following our hands-on Astronaut Starry Sky star projector review.Ī number of sellers distribute it and the best price we've found today is $25.99, but we'd recommend spending the extra $2 and purchasing it for $27.99 from a seller with a sizeable amount of ratings. I've tested a lot of star projectors and I can recommend this Astronaut Starry Sky star projector which is now just $27.99 which I fully reviewed back in 2022.
