Star projectors can create a relaxing atmosphere in almost any room, projecting stunning colors onto your walls and ceiling. They often fluctuate in price, so it's a great idea to snap up one of the Black Friday deals while they're cheap.
We love this Encalife Aurora Borealis Star Projector deal, now $79.97 at Amazon for Black Friday. With smart app integration and over 16.7 million aurora colors, you don't need to go to the North Pole to see the aurora this winter.
When we reviewed the Encalife Aurora Borealis Star Projector, we loved how many features it has and thought the built-in Bluetooth speaker was surprisingly good quality. We thought it gave realistic-looking aurora projections and we loved its musical rhythm mode.
We think it's one of the best star projectors and would be fantastic for wowing at space-themed parties.

It doesn't have any voice control, but you can use the in-built app to control it.
