Product Information

Most star projectors will have a sleep timer — we look for how many options for the sleep timer duration you have and whether it is effective and reliable. This globe-shaped product excels with the sheer number of distinct stars it projects, and it has some tempting science-based upgrade options.

Bresser Junior Astro Planetarium Deluxe star projector review

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. Whether you’re hosting a space-themed party, learning about the cosmos or simply looking for a way to help you fall asleep, star projectors can do it all.Some models include swirling light patterns and small flashes of light, so they may not be suitable for babies with light sensitivities or conditions like epilepsy. Rotating the image and adjusting the focus wheel in the dark is simple thanks to the blue-illuminated buttons. It’s also only capable of tilting within 30 degrees, which limits it to ceiling projection and won’t allow for use on walls. Despite the poor quality packaging, the unit itself is well-built and the lights are bright enough to create the desired ambiance or party atmosphere. We likened the projector to a little robot, and you could quite easily add some googly eye stickers to make it look more fun!
