Erstwhile known as Homestar EX, Sega Toys will soon be releasing Homestar EXTRA, a home planetarium system. Aside from being a home planetarium, Homestar EXTRA is also marketed as a system for schools, bars, and other more professional venues. It exhibits five times the brightness of earlier version, Homestar Pro, and hence can be used even in dimly lit rooms.

Additionally, while the Pro version only has 10,000 stars and clusters, EXTRA can have 45,000 to over 120,000. It also has a shooting star function that instructs falling heavenly bodies to appear in random locations on the projection and in random times. Homestar EXTRA will start shipping on December with a multifunction remote control for an expected retail price in the range of $700 to $800.
