star projectors

Indoor galaxy makers

Star projectors are devices that cast points of light onto ceilings and walls to simulate a night sky.

They range from simple children's nightlights to sophisticated planetarium equipment.

Home versions typically rotate slowly, creating a drifting starfield effect: The star projector turned her bedroom into a galaxy.

Some models include nebula effects or constellation patterns.
