The Stargazer is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist enemy found at the Stardust Pillar during the Lunar Events. It walks slowly, and will sometimes fire a thin Stardust Laser at the player. The Stargazer may move while firing the laser, but it cannot change the angle, similarly to the Charged Blaster Cannon on  Old Chinese and  tModLoader Legacy when firing its full beam.

Trivia

• The Stargazer is named StardustSoldier in the game code.
• The Stargazer, Predictor, Vortexian and Drakanian all share remarkably similar sprites.
• Stargazer shooting a beam from it's core is similar to Irpn man's Unibeam

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