Fancy a window to the cosmos in your very own bathroom? Project the wonderment of the universe onto your walls and bathtub with this Homestar Spa Planetarium from Sega Toys, a Saturn-esque globe that's watertight and perfectly shaped for floating beside you in the bath. If space isn't your thing, then lie back and appreciate the rose petal and deep sea settings.

Mini projectors such as the Homestar Pure Mini Planetarium in various incarnations have been thrilling people in their lounge rooms for years, and now the product range has expanded so you can have the night's sky in every room in the house. My kids would undoubtedly be transfixed by these neat machines, and it would certainly be great for calming down those overtired kids at bathtime. Mine tend to ramp up in the bath just when they should be winding down, so I'll be watching keenly for the release of the planetariums. They'll be launched later this month at the Tokyo Toy Show. The word is that it'll cost around 7000 yen, or around AUD$70.
