In 1969, families gathered around the television to watch a man step onto the moon, and for years afterward bedroom ceilings filled with glow-in-the-dark constellations pressed up one at a time. The night sky has been a favorite decoration ever since.

This projector brings the whole scene indoors with considerably less ladder work. A small astronaut stands on a removable moon base, casting eight colorful nebula effects across the walls and ceiling along with twinkling green stars. His magnetically attached head tilts to aim the display wherever you like. Show the nebulas and stars together or separately, and use the remote to change the pattern, brightness, and rotation speed without leaving your pillow.

A timer turns the display off after 45 or 90 minutes, which suits a bedtime routine. With the lights on, the poseable astronaut and his lunar perch make a charming ornament for a child’s shelf, a game room, or a stargazer’s desk. More than half a century on, space still captures the imagination.
