astronaut helmet
Orbital suit crown
An astronaut helmet is the pressurized headgear worn as part of a spacesuit, designed to maintain breathable air, protect against temperature extremes and micrometeorites, and shield against solar radiation.
The visor is typically gold-coated to filter intense sunlight.
The helmet locks into a neck ring that seals against the suit.
Outside space contexts, astronaut helmets appear as costumes and toys, or describe any bulbous protective headgear: The welding mask looked like an astronaut helmet.
