✦ With our constellation star finder you'll easily identify stars and planets in the sky. Move your device around, and this app will calculate the device’s orientation and also your GPS location, so it will provide you with an accurate presentation of the arrangement of celestial bodies in the night sky.*

✦ Use Time Machine to diversify sky observation and explore the sky map of different periods. To do this, tap the clock icon in the top left corner and slide the right edge dial down for the past and up for the future position sky objects.

✦ Identify stars, constellations and planets in the night sky with our mobile observatory. Night mode bathes the interface in a red glow in order to make the sky observation more comfortable for your eyes.

✦ This night sky viewer allows you to change the colour of the display to represent various kinds of radiation: gamma, X-Ray, visible spectrum, Infrared, and Radio, etc. Explore the map of the sky in its various representations.

✦ Star Walk's mobile observatory also gives astronomy facts and daily stats like sunrise and sunset times, visible planets, moon phases and much more. You won't need astronomy books and atlases.
