It projects around 10,000 stars onto a circular area of 1.8m in your bathroom (projection distance: between 1.5 and 2.3m). Buyers can choose between models in pink, black, blue and beige.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-133190\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/c951a_Picture-5.png\" alt=\"Picture 5\" width=\"301\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sega Toys will start selling the Homestar Aqua on January 29.
