Stargazer

Stargazers are a family of perciform marine fishes (Uranoscopidae) known for their distinctive morphology, including eyes positioned on the top of their broad, flattened heads, which enables them to bury themselves in sandy or muddy substrates while keeping only their eyes and mouth exposed to ambush passing prey.^[1] These bottom-dwelling predators are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical coastal waters, from shallow inshore areas to depths exceeding 400 meters in some species, and the family comprises approximately 57 species across eight genera.^[2]^[3] Many stargazers, particularly those in the genus Astroscopus, possess paired electric organs derived from modified eye muscles that can generate shocks up to 50 volts to stun prey or deter threats, a unique adaptation among bony fishes.^[1] Their robust bodies are often camouflaged with mottled patterns, and they feature stout, venomous cleithral spines located behind the opercles and above the pectoral fins that can inflict painful stings to predators or handlers.) Stargazers employ a sit-and-wait hunting strategy, protruding their eyes above the sediment to scan for small fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates, which they rapidly engulf with their large, upward-facing mouths.^[4] The family's evolutionary history includes fossil records dating back to the Miocene, with species like Astroscopus countermani identified from ancient coastal deposits, highlighting their long-standing adaptation to benthic lifestyles.^[5] While generally not targeted by commercial fisheries due to their unappealing appearance and defensive capabilities, with only minor exploitation in some regions, stargazers play a role in marine ecosystems as opportunistic predators and are occasionally encountered by divers or anglers in regions like the Western Atlantic and Indo-Pacific.^[6]^[7] Stargazer may also refer to other entities in the natural world, aerospace, technology, and entertainment (see sections below).

Natural world

Fish

The stargazers are a family of marine fishes known as Uranoscopidae, comprising 57 species across 8 genera.^[8] These bottom-dwelling perciform fishes are distinguished by their eyes positioned dorsally on the head, enabling them to gaze upward while buried in sediment, a trait that gives the family its common name.^[1] The family is characterized by a large, cuboidal head, scaleless or small-scaled body, and a strongly oblique mouth with fringed lips adapted for suction feeding.^[8] Physically, stargazers exhibit several specialized traits suited to their ambush lifestyle. They frequently burrow into sandy or muddy substrates, emerging only with their eyes, nostrils, and mouth exposed to scan for prey.^[4] Some species, particularly in the genus Astroscopus, possess electric organs derived from modified eye muscles that can deliver shocks up to 50 volts, primarily for defense against threats rather than prey capture.^[1] Additionally, all members feature two large venomous spines located behind the operculum and above the pectoral fins, equipped with poison glands that can inflict painful stings on predators or handlers.^[8] Their tubular, upward-facing mouths allow for rapid extension to engulf passing benthic invertebrates and small fishes.^[1] Stargazers inhabit primarily tropical and temperate marine environments worldwide, distributed across the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.^[8] They prefer soft-bottom habitats such as sandy or muddy seafloors in coastal and continental shelf waters, ranging from shallow intertidal zones to depths of up to 400 meters.^[1] This demersal distribution supports their sedentary, cryptic existence, where they remain motionless for extended periods to avoid detection.^[4] Notable species include the whitemargin stargazer (Uranoscopus sulphureus), a tropical Indo-Pacific fish reaching 45 cm in length, which buries itself on reef flats and uses an oral lure—a worm-like appendage—to entice prey within striking distance while cirri around the mouth prevent sand ingress during respiration.^[9] Similarly, the Atlantic stargazer (Uranoscopus scaber), found in subtropical eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean waters up to 56 cm long, exhibits head-only emergence from sediment and generates both acoustic signals and weak electric pulses, with sexual dimorphism in discharge amplitude during spawning.^[10] These behaviors highlight their reliance on stealthy positioning to ambush unsuspecting prey.^[4] Evolutionary adaptations in Uranoscopidae emphasize benthic ambush predation, with dorsal eye placement and flattened heads facilitating surveillance from concealment without full exposure.^[1] Camouflage is achieved through body coloration—often mottled browns and whites that blend with sandy substrates—and burrowing habits that render them nearly invisible to overhead predators and prey alike.^[4] Predatory strategies center on patience and surprise, including the use of lures in some species and venomous or electric defenses to secure captures or deter attacks, reflecting specialized morphological evolution for low-energy, high-success hunting in soft-sediment niches.^[9]

Plants

The Stargazer lily (Lilium 'Stargazer') is a renowned hybrid cultivar within the Oriental lily group (Lilium × orientalis), celebrated for its striking upward-facing flowers that earned the name through their skyward orientation, reminiscent of gazing at stars. Developed by lily breeder Leslie Woodriff in California, this cultivar was introduced in 1978 as a breakthrough in breeding to produce blooms that face outward and upward rather than drooping, derived from complex crosses involving Oriental lily genetics, though exact parentage remains undocumented due to Woodriff's informal record-keeping. The flowers feature vibrant crimson-pink petals with white margins, dark red spots, and a golden throat, accompanied by a potent, sweet fragrance that intensifies in the evening; plants typically reach 60-100 cm in height with multiple blooms per stem in mid to late summer. Cultivation of the Stargazer lily is straightforward for temperate climates, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 3-9 where winters provide necessary chill for bulb dormancy. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.5) enriched with organic matter to prevent bulb rot; bulbs should be planted 15-20 cm deep and 20-30 cm apart in fall, allowing roots to establish before winter. As a popular choice for perennial borders, containers, and cut-flower production, it requires moderate watering to keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, with mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds; deadheading spent blooms encourages reblooming in subsequent years. Following the original pink cultivar's success, varietal developments expanded the Stargazer line in the 1980s and beyond, introducing white-flowered variants like 'Stargazer White' for purer aesthetics and yellow-toned selections such as 'Yellow Stargazer' to diversify color palettes in gardens and arrangements. These adaptations maintained the upward-facing habit and fragrance while broadening appeal for hybridizers and commercial growers. The cultivar has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit for its reliability, vigor, and ornamental value in outdoor settings. Economically, the Stargazer lily ranks among the world's top-selling lily varieties, with annual global bulb production exceeding 36 million units, driven by demand for its longevity as a cut flower and ease of forcing for holidays like Mother's Day. Major production hubs include the Netherlands, where flower bulb exports exceeded 1 billion euros in 2022 (including lilies), and the United States, particularly California, where Sun Valley Farms pioneered its commercialization but ceased large-scale operations in 2024 due to a business downturn.^[11]^[12]

Mushrooms

The Stargazer strain of Psilocybe cubensis is a cultivated variety of this psychedelic mushroom species with unverified origins, often marketed as originating from spores foraged near the ancient Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru but lacking supporting evidence. Known for its fast colonization rates and high yields, the strain has gained popularity among home cultivators since its introduction in mycology communities in the early 2010s.^[13] Physically, Stargazer mushrooms produce medium-sized fruits with golden-brown to light yellow caps measuring up to 5 cm in diameter, which are convex when young and flatten with age. The stems are thick and pale white, often reaching 10-13 cm in length, and exhibit characteristic blue bruising upon handling, a sign of psilocybin oxidation. These traits make it visually distinctive within P. cubensis varieties, though it shares broad morphological similarities with the species as a whole. Stargazer contains psilocybin and psilocin at concentrations typically ranging from 0.6% to 1.2% of dry weight, aligning with average potency levels for P. cubensis. Consumption leads to psychoactive effects including vivid visual hallucinations, euphoria, and deep introspection, often evoking a sense of cosmic interconnectedness. A standard moderate dosage is 1-3 grams of dried material, suitable for experienced users seeking therapeutic or spiritual experiences. For cultivation, Stargazer thrives on grain-based substrates like rye or milo, with optimal colonization temperatures of 24-27°C, completing in 7-14 days under ideal conditions. Fruiting occurs rapidly, often within 7-10 days after casing, in humid environments (85-95% relative humidity) at 21-24°C, yielding abundant clusters that appeal to amateur mycologists. Its contamination resistance and prolific flushes have made it a favorite in home growing circles. Legally, psilocybin-containing mushrooms like Stargazer are classified as Schedule I controlled substances under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and in many countries worldwide, prohibiting possession, cultivation, and distribution except for research. Culturally, interest in the strain has surged post-2020 amid growing therapeutic research into psilocybin for mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD, with decriminalization efforts in places like Oregon facilitating clinical studies.

Aerospace and transportation

Launch vehicles and aircraft

The Stargazer is a modified Lockheed L-1011 TriStar commercial jet aircraft, originally constructed in 1974 and initially operated by Air Canada as a passenger airliner. In 1994, Orbital Sciences Corporation (now part of Northrop Grumman) acquired and extensively modified the aircraft at Marshall Aerospace in Cambridge, England, to serve as a dedicated carrier for air-launching the Pegasus and Pegasus XL rockets, enabling the deployment of small satellites into orbit.^[14] Stargazer's operational history began with its first rocket launch on June 27, 1994, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, marking the maiden flight of the stretched Pegasus XL variant. Over the subsequent decades, the aircraft supported 45 Pegasus missions from diverse locations including Vandenberg Space Force Base, Cape Canaveral, Wallops Flight Facility, and the Kwajalein Atoll, successfully deploying nearly 100 satellites for various government and commercial customers. Notable payloads included NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) constellation in 2016, which consisted of eight microsatellites for hurricane observation, and the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) in 2019, designed to study space weather effects on Earth's atmosphere. The final Pegasus launch occurred on June 13, 2021, carrying the U.S. Space Force's Odyssey satellite—a technology demonstrator for space domain awareness—demonstrating rapid-response launch capabilities in just 24 hours from payload arrival.^[15]^[16] Technically, Stargazer retains the L-1011's core dimensions, including a wingspan of 155 feet 4 inches, but features reinforced structure and a custom pylon under the fuselage to mate with the 50,000-pound-class Pegasus XL rocket. With its three Rolls-Royce RB211-524B4 turbofan engines upgraded in 2010 for enhanced performance, the aircraft achieves a range exceeding 3,000 nautical miles when carrying a full payload and operates at altitudes up to 42,000 feet at speeds around Mach 0.85. During launches, Stargazer climbs to approximately 40,000 feet at Mach 0.8 over the drop zone, releases the rocket, which then ignites its solid-propellant stages to reach orbit.^[17]^[14]^[18] This air-launch platform has been significant in advancing access to space for small payloads, allowing deployments from flexible locations without reliance on fixed ground infrastructure like launch pads or gantries, thereby reducing costs and enabling responsive missions for scientific and national security applications. Although no Pegasus launches have occurred since 2021 amid competition from ground-based small rocket providers, Stargazer remains airworthy as of 2025, based at Mojave Air and Space Port in California for potential future use or testing.^[16]^[19]

Passenger aircraft and concepts

Venus Aerospace, a Houston-based startup founded in 2021, unveiled the Stargazer M4 in 2022 as a conceptual reusable hypersonic aircraft designed for commercial passenger transport.^[20] The project aims to enable ultra-rapid global travel, with the aircraft capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 9, or approximately 6,900 miles per hour, allowing flights such as New York to Tokyo in about one hour or New York to London in under one hour.^[21] Engineered for 12 passengers, the Stargazer M4 represents an advancement in civilian hypersonic aviation, building on prior air-launch concepts by integrating runway takeoff capabilities for broader accessibility.^[22] The Stargazer M4 is powered by the Venus Detonation Ramjet (VDR) engine, which combines a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) for high-thrust takeoff with an air-breathing ramjet for efficient hypersonic cruise.^[23] The RDRE, recognized as the most efficient rocket engine technology demonstrated to date, operates without moving parts, enhancing reusability and throttleability while reducing complexity compared to traditional propulsion systems.^[24] In October 2024, Venus Aerospace introduced the VDR2 variant, an upgraded iteration designed to transition seamlessly from subsonic takeoff to speeds exceeding Mach 4. This was followed by the first ignition test of the VDR2 in December 2024, validating its detonation-based combustion for sustained high-speed performance.^[25] Key design specifications include a length of 150 feet, a wingspan of 100 feet, and an operational altitude of up to 170,000 feet, providing passengers with views of the Earth's curvature and near-space conditions.^[21] The aircraft's structure emphasizes scalability and affordability through standard materials and a compact propulsion system, with a takeoff weight of approximately 150,000 pounds.^[26] Development milestones advanced significantly in 2025, including a historic U.S. flight demonstration of the RDRE in May, where the engine powered a test vehicle to hypersonic speeds from a conventional runway, marking the first such achievement by a private company.^[27] Ground tests throughout 2025 further refined the VDR2's integration, paving the way for subscale flight demonstrations.^[28] Venus Aerospace has secured strategic investments to support Stargazer M4 development, including funding from Lockheed Martin Ventures in October 2025 to accelerate propulsion innovations for both commercial and defense applications.^[29] The company targets a first full-scale flight by 2028, with commercial operations anticipated in the 2030s, focusing on point-to-point travel that could transform international connectivity.^[30] Innovations in the project address hypersonic challenges through the RDRE's efficiency, which promises lower fuel consumption than subsonic jets for equivalent distances, though ongoing research continues to optimize thermal management and environmental impacts.^[24]

Gaming mechanics

In video games, Stargazer often functions as a checkpoint, progression, or summoning mechanic, particularly within souls-like, RPG, and gacha genres, where it ties into themes of restoration, celestial exploration, and resource management.^[48]^[49]^[50] These implementations draw inspiration from FromSoftware's design patterns, such as lamp checkpoints in Bloodborne, adapting them to restore player vitality and enable navigation in challenging environments.^[51] In Lies of P (2023), Stargazers serve as primary save points and fast-travel hubs, allowing players to fully restore protagonist Pinocchio's health and stamina upon interaction, refill Pulse Cells (the game's healing consumables), replenish items from storage, and cleanse negative status effects like poison or decay.^[51]^[52] They also respawn nearby common enemies to facilitate farming for Ergo (experience currency) and facilitate leveling up stats at any unlocked Stargazer after the initial story restriction is lifted.^[53] Positioned at key locations like the start of areas or boss arenas, Stargazers emphasize strategic resting in the game's Pinocchio-inspired world, where death returns players to the last activated one with partial resource loss.^[48] The Last Faith (2023) features Stargazer as a starting class build optimized for magic-focused playstyles, scaling primarily with Instinct (for spell damage) and Mind (for mana pool), though it requires supplementary investment in Strength for viable early-game melee weapons due to delayed spell accessibility.^[49]^[54] Mid-game unlocks include celestial-themed spells like Corrupted Star, a projectile that summons starry orbs to damage enemies at range, alongside others such as Barsov's Electrocution and Moonshade Tears, which demand high Instinct (around 20-30) for effectiveness.^[55]^[56] This build suits players favoring ranged arcane combat in the metroidvania-soulslike hybrid, but its low starting vitality makes it punishing without hybrid stat allocation.^[57] In AFK Journey (2024), the Stargaze Station operates as a specialized gacha summoning system unlocked after 400 total pulls across banners, using diamonds (premium currency) to summon exclusive S-level Celestial and Hypogean heroes like Berial and Reinier, with pulls limited monthly to encourage spending.^[50]^[58] It has faced criticism for aggressive paywalls, as event-exclusive rate-ups for heroes like Talene increase costs compared to the broader summoning in predecessor AFK Arena, potentially gating progression for free-to-play users.^[59]^[60] Unlike standard banners, Stargaze emphasizes rare faction-specific units, with 10-pull options yielding duplicates or lower rarities if pity mechanics fail.^[50] Other implementations include Stargazer as a rare aura in Sol's RNG (2025), a Roblox RNG-based collection game, where it appears as a mythical visual effect in the Starfall biome during events, boasting a 1 in 9,200,000 drop rate via breakthrough rolls, rewarding persistent grinding with cosmic particle animations.^[61]^[62] Across these titles, Stargazer mechanics commonly evoke celestial motifs—such as starry restoration or astral summons—enhancing immersion in souls-like endurance tests and RPG progression loops.^[51]^[49]

Entertainment

Fictional media

In anime, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer is a three-episode original video animation (OVA) released in 2006, serving as a side story to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.^[63] Set in Cosmic Era 73 immediately after the "Break the World" incident, it centers on the Deep Space Survey and Development Organization (D.S.S.D.), a civilian group developing the experimental mobile suit GSX-401FW Stargazer for deep-space exploration beyond Mars.^[64] The narrative follows D.S.S.D. scientist Selene McGriff and Phantom Pain pilot Sven Cal Bayang as they become involved in testing the Stargazer to evade capture by the Earth Alliance's Phantom Pain unit, which seeks to repurpose the suit's space-warping technology for the superweapon Requiem.^[63] Their efforts highlight themes of scientific neutrality amid escalating conflict between Naturals and Coordinators, culminating in a confrontation that tests the suit's capabilities against military forces.^[65] In tabletop role-playing games, the Stargazers appear as one of the thirteen tribes of Garou (werewolves) in Werewolf: The Apocalypse, a 1990s tabletop RPG published by White Wolf Publishing.^[66] Originating from Asia and drawing inspiration from Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, the Stargazers are depicted as introspective loners who emphasize inner balance, martial arts, and spiritual enlightenment over aggressive warfare.^[67] They integrate Eastern mysticism into Garou society, using Gifts like falling sun and starlight meditation to achieve harmony with Gaia, though their detachment from the Garou Nation's politics leads to their eventual secession in later editions.^[68] This tribe contrasts with more urban or combative groups, prioritizing contemplation and the Middle Way to combat the Wyrm.^[66] In comics and graphic novels, Stargazer is a six-issue horror series published by Mad Cave Studios in 2020, written by Anthony Cleveland with art by Antonio Fuso.^[69] The story explores a family's unraveling after a traumatic alien abduction experienced by siblings Shae and Kenny during their childhood, blending psychological tension with supernatural elements inspired by role-playing games (RPGs) and real-life family dynamics.^[70] As the adult survivors confront resurfacing memories and eerie occurrences, the narrative delves into themes of denial, trauma, and otherworldly intrusion, culminating in revelations that challenge their reality.^[71] Separately, Stargazer (real name Angelica Briggs) is a character from DC/Marvel's 1996 Amalgam Universe crossover, fusing Marvel's Firestar (Angelica Jones) with DC's Looker (Emily Briggs).^[72] Abducted by the subterranean Deviants of Abyssia as a child, she gains microwave energy powers and enhanced beauty, becoming a heroic figure who aids the JLX (Justice League X-Men) against threats like the Deviant leader Loki.^[72] In literature, The Stargazer's War is a science fiction cultivation novel series by J.P. Valentine, beginning with To Flail Against Infinity in 2023.^[73] The story follows protagonist Jian, a former mortal turned cultivator who discovers "void qi"—an infinite, life-antithetical energy—in deep space, using it to ascend amid interstellar sects and cosmic threats.^[74] Blending xianxia progression tropes with hard sci-fi elements like starships and quantum anomalies, the series examines themes of isolation, power's cost, and humanity's place in the universe, with the second installment To Catch a Falling Leaf released in 2024.^[75] Stargazer also features in various non-canon fan works related to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, often as a cosmic entity or altered character.^[76] For instance, in fan animations and mods like those for Friday Night Funkin', Stargazer appears as a faceless, star-themed variant of Sonic with ethereal powers, while fanfiction portrays it as a sentient star obsessed with the hedgehog hero.^[77] These depictions, spanning mods, stories, and art, emphasize exploratory or antagonistic roles in alternate universes but remain unofficial extensions of the canon.^[78]

Music

"Stargazer" is a prominent song title in rock and metal music, most notably the 1976 epic by British-American hard rock band Rainbow from their album Rising. Written by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and vocalist Ronnie James Dio, the track runs 8:27 and features orchestral elements, including a 16-member choir and brass section conducted by Ronnie James Dio, creating a symphonic atmosphere around its narrative of a wizard's failed quest for the stars.^[79]^[80] The song's fantasy-driven lyrics and bombastic structure have positioned it as a proto-power metal cornerstone, influencing the genre's emphasis on epic storytelling and melodic grandeur in subsequent heavy metal developments.^[81] In progressive and post-metal, Belgian band Psychonaut released "Stargazer" as a single on July 31, 2025, ahead of their album World Maker (October 24, 2025, Pelagic Records). This sprawling, emotionally charged track blends psychedelic post-metal with folk influences, evoking cosmic introspection through its dynamic builds and melodic vocal layers.^[82]^[83] Several bands bear the name Stargazer, spanning hard rock and extreme metal genres. The Norwegian hard rock outfit Stargazer, active since the early 2000s, delivers classic influences from Deep Purple and Whitesnake in their sound.^[84] Their 2023 album Life Will Never Be The Same (Mighty Music), produced by Søren Andersen, features the single "Heartbroken," a moody ballad shifting from heavy riffs to bluesy introspection.^[85] In contrast, the Australian extreme metal band Stargazer, formed in Adelaide in 1995, has endured over 25 years as an avant-garde black/death metal project exploring mysticism and esoterica.^[86]^[87] Key releases include The Scream That Tore the Sky (2005) and Psychic Secretions (2021, Nuclear War Now! Productions), known for dense, complex compositions with warped basslines and growled vocals.^[88] Grunge pioneers Mother Love Bone recorded "Stargazer" in 1989 as part of their early Seattle sessions, capturing the band's raw, glam-infused sound before frontman Andrew Wood's death in 1990. The track, featuring energetic riffs and Wood's charismatic vocals, remains a fan-favorite from their unreleased demos, emblematic of pre-Nevermind grunge evolution.^[89] The Stargazer Cannabis Festival, an annual event since the 2010s in Waverly, Ohio, combines music performances, arts installations, and cannabis culture at Adventures on the River venue. It supports marijuana law reform through fundraising and features stages with acts like Austin & The Syd Experience, alongside workshops and competitions; the 2026 edition is slated for announcement soon.^[90]^[91] Rainbow's "Stargazer" continues to resonate in modern contexts, frequently appearing in space-themed playlists for its astral imagery and epic scope, tying into broader cultural fascination with cosmic narratives in music.^[92]
