Amazon Discount Brings Home Planetarium to Lowest Price
The Pococo Galaxy Star Projector has dropped to $79.99 in an early Black Friday promotion, cutting $25 from its standard price. This markdown brings the device to its lowest price of the year, according to reviews published by Space.
With nearly 3,000 Amazon reviews and a 62 percent five-star rating, the home planetarium earned a spot in buyer guides as a value choice in its category. The device launched in September 2022 at a starting price of $120 before settling near $99 outside of major sale events.
Projector Uses Swappable Optical Discs and Rechargeable Battery
The Pococo projector utilizes swappable optical discs rather than built-in novelty lasers to cast snapshots of the night sky. The unit ships with two starter discs, while themed expansion packs covering topics like the Moon, stars, fixed nebulas, and planets are also discounted by 20 percent on Amazon, dropping from $53.99 to $43.19.
Measuring 6.2 by 4.7 by 4.7 inches and weighing 1.7 pounds, the chassis incorporates recycled plastics. Power comes from an integrated rechargeable battery that charges via standard USB-C, allowing placement away from wall sockets. The maximum projection size spans 39 by 39 feet.
Operation relies on a three-button interface handling power, rotation, and an auto-shutoff sleep timer. Reviewers noted that its functionality aligns with more expensive alternatives such as the Homestar Flux Home Planetarium Star Projector, which currently retails for $259 on Amazon.
