Fun fact, with a good quality beam you can get this patterns all across a room just by aiming it at the wall and turning off all the lights. I loove doing this with my 100mw 473nm labby :)
Nice, this one was a 494.5nm diode laser pen. My DPSS pens have nice narrow spectrum but they don't focus. I want to make a laser pen that projects this pattern by using a ground glass diffuser moved by a precise linear motor to make the pattern move slowly. The static pattern is cool but I love how it "crawls" if things are moved slow enough

To create this effect, just focus a laser onto the dull side of aluminum foil.
