SkySafari Astronomy

SkySafari is a mobile application that allows users to easily locate and identify planets, constellations, satellites, and millions of stars and deep sky objects simply by holding their device up to the sky. With interactive information and rich graphics, it serves as the perfect stargazing companion for anyone looking to explore the wonders of the night sky. The latest version, Version 7, offers complete support for the latest version of Android and regular updates to ensure users have the best experience possible. One notable feature is OneSky, which allows users to see what other users are observing in real time. This feature highlights objects in the sky chart and indicates how many users are observing a particular object. Another new feature is Sky Tonight, which provides information on what is visible in the sky on a given night. This includes Moon and Sun information, curated calendars, and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects. The Orbit Mode allows users to virtually travel to planets, moons, and stars, while the Guided Audio Tours provide over four hours of audio narration to teach users about the history, mythology, and science of the heavens. The Galaxy View feature allows users to visualize the 3-D location of stars and deep sky objects in our galaxy, the Milky Way. And for those who struggle with pronouncing celestial object names, SkySafari offers a pronunciation guide to help users learn the correct way to say them. For those new to SkySafari, the app offers a variety of features to enhance the stargazing experience. Users can hold their device up to the sky and the star chart will automatically update with their real-time movements. They can also simulate the night sky from any location on Earth in the past or future, and track the locations of the Sun, Moon, and Mars. In addition to these features, SkySafari offers a wealth of information on the history, mythology, and science of the heavens. Users can browse through hundreds of object descriptions, astronomical photographs, and NASA spacecraft images. They can also stay up-to-date with the Sky Calendar, which provides information on all major sky events.
