The Stargazer is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist enemy that spawns in the area of the Stardust Pillar during the Lunar Events. It walks slowly until it is within the line-of-sight of the player, which will then cause it to stop in place and fire a large Stardust Laser at the player once every three seconds. The laser momentarily appears as a harmless thin beam before quickly widening and damaging the player. The Stargazer may move while firing the laser, but it cannot change the angle.

Trivia

• The Stargazer, Selenian, Predictor, and Vortexian all share very similar sprites.
• The Stargazer is named StardustSoldier in the game code.

• The Bestiary entry for the Stargazer: "This slow-moving celestial soldier fires cosmic rays at unsuspecting invaders, defending the pillar without hesitation."
