Does this indeed have shooting stars?

The simple answer is no. The laser is sent thru a prismatic element that creates the star burst effect which covers the room. the stars move, but there is no shooting star per se.

It completely covers your ceiling with stars and the center (few square feet) move. It's not shooting stars, exactly, it's more like moving stars. It is very cool and soothing, but, it does make noise. Wish the motor was silent! :)

these are not exactly stars - they are green dotes and yes occasionally one of them imitates a shooting star

It has moving blue and green little light dots that rotate around room. My daughter LOVES this! It also has a timer so it shuts off on it's own after a while. Pretty quiet too.

Yes, it has a laser point (imaginary image) which helps you point at the sky.

Yes mine can and does, it's also mounted on the ground and pointed upwards into a tree and does a great job showing the foliage at night . Nice to look at.

I think there are only star shapes not diamond shapes. And the star shapes come in small medium and large.

It plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but it's. Kind of an odd electronic version. Not crazy about the music option so we don't use it much so far but love the star projection. And it never gets hot, very safe.

Yes it does. I used a Sony remote with it on bulb setting to try star trails a while back. I still use this camera almost daily and I have had no problems in 2 years. I find it a bit noisy on high iso in poor light, but I am no expert but would rather use a larger aperture lens or slow shutter and tripod as needed.

No, they don't. I think I read somewhere that some of the pieces had wheels that light up, but I haven't seen any in person that do. Again, I can't recommend this high enough.

I would imagine so, nice toy but the shooting feature is basically non-existant.

It has 48 red eys and it indeed does glow. And I seen it to about 5 ft away.

Stars. It's cool but stars are little. Think little moons glow, too, but not the big planets.

Yes, stars are green and constantly move - it's not a representation of the night sky. We use the lamp as a night light for our boys and they like it - it's more like a plasma ball than a star map.

It's not scientifically accurate. I did not get the constellations add on disk, but the one that comes with it is just a bunch of stars...no constellations.

Stars are pretty good pin-points in the central region of the lenses. I am not sure of all 4 of Jupiter's moons. Maybe with a tripoid.

It just projects stars. There is an option to have the star color change automatically between the three colors but there is no music.

Most of the stars are about the size of coins (some dime, nickel, quarter sized). Some small moons and shooting stars a couple inches across. Some large moons, circles, and one Saturn looking planet go up to about 10 inches across.

No, it doesnt show constellations at all. It mostly like a light show and the "green stars" are moving.

Pretty much just the Moon. Planets and other stars do becoming brighter. (brighter dots) They're pretty decent for terrestrial viewing too. For a beginner just starting out.. They're totally worth it. You'll know if you'd like to continue with the whole "amateur astronomer" thing. =)
