Each of the individual disks come in their own plastic case. We can't help but think there would be a more environmentally friendly way to store them safely. (Image credit: Tantse Walter) Here's one for space fans and paleontology enthusiasts alike. The second novelty-shaped projector in this guide and it's surprisingly capable in terms of functionality, and during our Dinosaur Egg Galaxy Star Projector review our children loved it! A great app-controlled non-scientific star projector that floods the room with lovely color-blended pastel shades. The projector has a three-watt LED bulb that can project up to 106 inches in diameter from a distance of 60 to 90 inches away. Those ultra-bright lights are also easily visible on most surfaces, though some reviewers wish the projector was bright enough to see in dimly lit places.

A hands-on star projector for home learning. It functions as both a night light and a slide projector. During on-call support, you may be prompted to upload an image for verification. Depending on your location, further inspection may be done at your doorstep. Final resolution may take up to 4 days.

(Image credit: Tantse Walter) Additional disks come in a handy storage box which can easily be stored on a bookshelf. (Image credit: Tantse Walter) A lovely star projector that any space fan will love. It's good quality, remote controlled and offers ample color combinations to transform your space. The image quality easily rivals those of the much more expensive Sega Homestar Flux even though the LED projector isn't as powerful.

The projector's box is eye-catching. It is nicely designed and would be nice to receive as a gift. The pink and blue shaded box has 'shelf appeal' and would appeal to kids as a night light as well as a young/teenage audience. Pococo even includes a little postcard to use as a gift card which we think is a nice touch.POCOCO founded by Anna, a mother of two girls, stands for empowerment and authenticity. Our goal is to bring inner calm through comfort. We believe everyone can find their genuine self in their unique space firmly, free from doubt or the need to please others. By immersing in the peace of the universe and nature, we embrace our real, imperfect selves. When the galaxy shines, you'll shine together. The focus wheel is large and tactile so can easily be operated in the dark. The disk draw also has a protruding 'tab' to find it in the dark. (Image credit: Tantse Walter) Aside from aesthetics, the Pococo is ultimately the same as the Orzors Star Projector — offering crisp imagery in a rechargeable device. Choose which one you like the look of! This is a great tool to introduce children to the topic of space exploration, as well as the constellations. Reviewers love this machine for its multiple domes and slides, as well as its included educational booklet. Rotating optical nebula projection with multi-colored lights: This is a static, rotating image of a nebula star formation illuminated with a range of colors that can be set to progress through pre-configured and user-definable color "scenes." The nebula projection can be combined with the green laser star field, or each can be chosen individually.

Here we have one of the most reasonably priced star projectors available. Think of it as an educational STEM toy for young budding astronomers rather than anything too sophisticated. We've chosen to put this projector at the top of this list as it offers the same (or even better) functionality than the Sega Toys Homestar Flux but at a much lower cost. The lights are bright and vivid, and there is a fair amount of customization, but you'll need to use the supplied remote to access some of the functions (rather than being able to access them using the buttons on the device). Other star projectors on this list, namely the Bliss Lights models, offer more color combinations, but there's more than enough here to entertain yourself and your children. The magic begins with a collection of high-quality optical components. These components work together to galaxy projector images of stars, galaxies, and nebulae onto surfaces such as POCOCO Galaxy projector. Optical lenses and mirrors are strategically placed to ensure that the galaxy projector's image appears crisp, clear, and true to life. There is one rotation speed which is slow and soothing — there's a little bit of noise from the motor but nothing that would be distracting, and better than many models we've tested.

This rechargeable star projector emits bright, colorful and sharp imagery that gives the best star projectors we've tested a run for their money.

Then there are scientific home planetariums that generally project 'real imagery,' so you can study and enjoy projections of real galaxies and nebulas from the comfort of your own home without investing in expensive astronomy equipment. These are much more likened to the more traditional planetariums that teach astronomy and related sciences. If you liked the Panamalar Nebula Star Projector, other major vendors of that design include Blisslights, which makes it in different style housings and colors to fit your decor. The Pococo Galaxy Projector is ultimately the same technology as the Orzorz Galaxy Lite mentioned above, but in a different body. Scroll up to the top of the list to read all of the functionality, it's all the same and even uses the same shape disks; it's just the shape and color of this model that makes it different. Hope this review helps! My 2 yr old daughter and I will get equal enjoyment and relaxation from this planetarium projector - if you’re considering one that is a scientifically accurate depiction of the images projected as opposed to just a star projector that displays inconspicuous arrangements of twinkling lights - you wont be disappointed. There are plenty of disc options featuring the universe, The spherical projector isn't fixed to the supplied base so gives maximum positioning flexibility. Point it at walls, ceilings and even the floor if you have high shelving, and you won't have a problem angling the Class 2 laser away from vulnerable eyes.

Looking for a star projector for educational purposes? This easy-setup projector is an excellent intro to the cosmos for ages eight and up. It has interchangeable parts, including three slide discs, each with eight images to switch up the viewing experience. Those discs carry photographs of spacecraft, astronauts, and nebulae, all provided by NASA and the Hubble Telescope. The little disks only fit into the draw one way, so the image is always projected the right way around. (Image credit: Tantse Walter) There isn't a 'top X star projector list' you'll come across without finding the Sega Toys Homestar Flux taking a podium position. Unlike many 'star projectors,' this model's main focus (no pun intended) is to project a realistic-looking, high-quality image of extraterrestrial subjects onto your wall or ceiling, often using real photos from various observation stations around the world. It ships with two disks as standard, but with over 30 compatible disks available as additional add-ons, there's a greater level of exploration to be had than with other star projectors and home planetariums.Cant speak to the longevity of the bulb or part components, however, with a price point that sits ~100 dollars below the comparable The projections from the Pococo Galaxy Projector are vivid and sharp, even when it's light outside. (Image credit: Tantse Walter) For a non-scientific projector, consider the BlissLights Sky Lite Evolve. This projector's primary purpose is to create an exciting, colorful atmosphere for parties, bedrooms, gaming rooms and beyond. Like the Pococo, it has a small, discreet, spherical design, and you can control the lights and lasers using a Smartphone app. The Ambience Galaxy & Star Projector resembles a UFO shape and has a faceted dome to help disperse the LED over 180 degrees. After reviewing lots of star projectors, this is a unique design.
