This Prime Day star projector deal is almost 30% cheaper and we're excited! We reviewed this novelty astronaut-shaped star projector back in 2022, and it remains in our best star projectors guide as the best budget star projector.
You will see on Amazon that it is listed by many sellers, and the prices range from around $25 to $50 — more often than not, $34.99 seems to be the most common price we've seen it at. Because there are so many sellers, there's lots of competition to drive the price down.
At the time of writing, the Astronaut Starry Sky projector is available for a mere $17.99 with a coupon if you are an Amazon Prime member. We'll be honest — we've seen this particular star projector drop to as low as around $6 at previous high-profile deals events — so you may be able to pick up an even better bargain. If you can't wait to get your hands on 'him' though, it's already a great price.
You can get the Astronaut Star Projector at Amazon now for $19.50 which is near the lowest price we've seen this projector.
As we're sure you've established, this is not a scientific star projector. Instead, it is a novelty item that is meant to add a space-like or otherworldly ambiance to your room. We've had our model since 2022 when we did our hands-on Astronaut Galaxy Star projector review, and it's still used regularly to help with the toddler's bedtime routine — it continues to shine bright and function as it did on day one.
- We're constantly checking the best prices on our Amazon Prime Day space deals page for big discounts on the best telescopes, binoculars, star projectors, cameras, drones, Lego, streaming and more.
The Astronaut Starry Sky Projector is a budget-friendly way to add ambiance to any room, especially when it's on sale. Its novelty astronaut design makes it an ideal gift for young and older space enthusiasts alike.
It's easy to use and features bright, customizable lights and lasers that can fill a small room. It operates quietly, too, so it won't disturb anyone who is trying to drift off to sleep, and you won't hear it if you're watching a movie or gaming.
Despite its playful appearance, it doesn't 'feel' toyish — it is surprisingly good quality, and as we mentioned, it hasn't let us down to date.
