Frequently Asked Questions

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday 2025 is on November 28 this year and runs through the weekend and into Cyber Monday, December 1. However, Black Friday sales are already underway.

When is the best time to look for star projector deals?

You can always check in with us for the latest deals, but Black Friday, Prime Day and other Amazon sales are your cue to look for a bargain. While Prime Day sounds like it's an Amazon-only event, other retailers will often try to compete with Amazon so you may find star projector deals at Walmart, Best Buy and other chains.

Are star projectors scientifically accurate?

Star projectors are not automatically scientifically accurate. Of the deals above, the Pococo star projector is the most accurate, using discs of actual images of space. But many are aimed at creating ambience, for relaxation or meditation purposes, and so don't perfectly depict the night sky. Our list of the best star projectors contains several scientifically-accurate models, so take a look.
