A typically fun Scooby mystery.
When an astrologist discovers a new star, he and other scientists are attacked by a star creature.
This episode benefits from a strong villain. The design is quite cool looking and memorable. I love how the character he lights on and off as he moves. That gives him a really unique feel. He also has a delightfully creepy voice. Like all episode of this show, the episode also benefits from some wonderfully looking background art (even if the setting is not all that unique). The mystery isn't too hard to solve, but the story moves by quickly and is a lot of fun. The humor may not be laugh out loud funny, but it definitely put a smile on my face multiple times.
This episode has some historical significance. It marks the last time Pat Stevens voices Velma. She had begun voicing the character with the first episode of The Scooby-Doo! Show (which debuted September 11, 1976). Starting with the next episode Velma would be voiced by Marla Frumkin, who would continue to voice the character through 1984. This also marked the 100th Scooby-Doo! episode (all TV shows included).
All in all not one of the best Scooby mysteries but still a lot of fun.
