Pressing the button on the turtle's shell ignites the stars and keeps them glowing for 45 minutes—just enough time for children to drift off to sleep—before automatically shutting off and preserving the battery life. The Twilight Turtle offers a choice of three soothing colors in hues that are known for their ability to encourage relaxation: amber, which radiates warmth and peace; green, which promotes healing and renewal; and blue, which calms the senses. Of the three, there is certain to be one that works with the color schema of the room. From where he is stationed, the turtle emits a warm glow in the color of choice, doubling as a comforting nightlight.

In addition to its calming effect, Twilight Turtle also features an educational component. Among the clusters of stars sprinkled across the ceiling are eight recognizable constellations. The accompanying literature tells a warm-hearted story about how Twilight Turtle got separated from his father and used the constellations to find his way home, which is a nice way to introduce the constellations and encourage kids to learn their locations and how to enjoy them. An included booklet maps out which area of Twilight Turtle's shell the constellations are projected from so viewers will know where to look for them on the ceiling. The booklet also gives a brief explanation of each constellation and its most notable features.
In the center of the sky is Orion the hunter, most easily recognizable by the three stars that make up his belt. At the 11:00 position, both Draco the dragon and The Little Dipper can be spotted. The Little Dipper is more visible because the North Star, Polaris, highlights the end of its handle. The North Star used to be positioned within Draco but movement in the skies shifted it over to The Little Dipper over time. In the upper right side of the sky (and the shell), is Canis Major (The Greater Dog), which hosts the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, at a point in the dog's neck. Right next to Canis Major is Cepheus, a little house with a pointed roof. In the lower right quadrant of the sky, Pegasus—the winged horse—is visible. He is easiest to find by locating the square that makes up the center of his body first. On the south side of the sky (between 6 and 7:00), viewers can see two stick figure people. These are Gemini, the twins. And, finally, the best known constellation—The Big Dipper—can be found at 9:00. This is really two constellations in one as The Big Dipper makes up the tail end of the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Bear.
