Stars with frickin' laser beams!

About a month ago, we wrote about the HomeStar Pro Planetarium, which uses LEDs to project the night sky on your ceiling. Here's another one for the astronomy buffs: Laser Stars, a projector that beams star and cloud formations onto your wall or ceiling of choice with laser technology and holographics. For those of us who live in brightly lit cities where we can't really see any real stars at night, it's a cool idea.

The Laser Stars projector looks to be less for nuts-and-bolts astronomy buffs than for people who just like to look at a pretty night sky, as its description doesn't say anything about specific constellations or seasons. But at $180, it costs quite a bit less than the LED projector, which goes for about $350.

Laser Stars vs. Homestar
by gk77 December 17, 2007 8:27 AM PST
With the price for both Laser Stars and Homestar getting to be about the same, which would be better for projecting onto a 22 foot tall ceiling at a Prom to give the illusion the students 'were under the stars'? The theme is 'A Night in Paris'. Also, since it is for mood setting, the accuracy of the constellations of the Homestar is also not that important.
