The brightness of the lights can be adjusted via the remote, allowing five different brightness levels. We (and our children) find some of the nebula more interesting than others we particularly favor those with two contrasting colors. The projection is bright and clear, even during the day with the curtains open or with the lights on.Īs expected, the patterns are clearer and more defined when projected onto a close surface. Each is eye-catching, and it isn't easy to pick a favorite. The astronaut starry sky projector provides a beautiful, color-rich display of eight different nebulae color combinations. The projections are clear and bright, and there are numerous color combinations to suit individual tastes (Image credit: Tantse Walter) Astronaut Starry Sky Projector: Performance As with most protruding lenses, it may get scratched over time with excessive handling or improper storage, but we didn't encounter any problems. The lens (the helmet's visor) is firm and does not dent or crease. The manufacturers have counterbalanced him with a lunar base, but we suggest he is kept out of the reach of small hands as anything more than a small amount of wobble will send him off balance. His large head adds to his 'cute' appeal, but this makes him a little unstable. The magnets are strong and hold the astronaut's head onto the body securely, even staying attached should you pick the device up by its head.

This allows you to project the 'nebula' in almost any direction, filling the room with 'stars' (twinkling green lasers) and color or projecting onto a smaller surface area for a more vivid and focused light.īefore getting our hands on this projector, we had expected it to feel toyish and flimsy, but the build quality is surprisingly good, particularly for what appears to be a novelty projector. The astronaut's space helmet is where the laser and lights are projected from, and the head of the astronaut is rotatable, connected to the body with strong-ish magnets.
