Since the world started

Since the world started, people have been looking at the starry night sky, wondering what it all means. While you could only analyze constellations with graphs, maps and telescopes beforehand, or visit the closest planetarium today, you can use mobile apps to detect a vast quantity of data about what is occurring at any given moment.

Backyard stargazers use applications to find a wealth of data about the place and identity of planets, stars, and galaxies— no telescope required. The finest astronomy applications use your smartphone or tablet's gyroscope and compass, along with date, time, and location services, to determine your place. While an internet connection is useful, for every application it is not always strictly essential.

You can still benefit from astronomy applications if you're in the wilderness, away from a Wi-Fi or cell connection. Through the camera of the device, some also use augmented reality to demonstrate you precisely where stars are placed. Most applications are highly user-friendly and target beginners and enthusiasts — just point the camera of your device to the sky and discover the stars and constellations.

Because the Earth rotates every 24 hours and the planets orbit around the sun every 365.25 days, stars land in predestined positions so that the same ones appear at the same date and time on an annual basis. Your location dictates which constellations are visible.

Many sky-charting applications use categories or lists to handle celestial objects. For instance, the Messier List — studied and released by Charles Messier in 1781 — contains 110 Northern Hemisphere viewable deep-sky items and is a common characteristic for such applications.

Inspired to see the sky? Here are a few of the many iOS and Android apps we've found across the platform.

Star Rover

Star Rover functions as the built-in planetarium for your device. Simply hold up your phone, use a pinch-to-zoom gesture, and pinpoint anything up there with the app. The app will locate stars, moon, planets, and constellations after determining your position.

The sky map is dynamically updated to see twinkling stars, nebulae, meteors, and sunset glow as you move your phone around the block, neighborhood, or region. Star Rover, costing $2, catalogs over 120,000 stars, all 88 constellations, planets and their moons, stages of the moon, and true Messier object pictures. Detailed data includes sky objects, equatorial and azimuthal grids, galaxy of the Milky Way, sunrise and sunset, simulation of eclipse, and more.

 SkySafari

All you have to do with SkySafari is hold your phone to the sky and allow the app to rapidly assemble planets, constellations, satellites, stars, and deep sky objects. With interactive data and rich graphics, the app lets you see 120,000 stars, more than 200 star clusters, nebulae and galaxies, all major planets and moons, as well as a range of asteroids, comets and satellites. including the International Space Station (ISS).

You can use the app to animate a variety of celestial events such as meteor showers, comet approaches, transits, and conjunctions. SkySafari allows you to simulate the night sky from anywhere on Earth, moving back and forth in time. Rich graphics demonstrate you galaxy and constellation opinions in detail. The Best characteristic of tonight shows the most exciting current events.

SkyView Lite

You don't need a telescope to see the stars and constellations as long as you have Sky View Lite, an intuitive free mobile app that helps you find and identify sky objects like stars, planets, and satellite flybys from the International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope at any time of day or night. An augmented reality function allows you to spot items in the sky at any moment using your camera. The app also features sky tracking routes for object tracking and a social function that allows you to share findings with friends and family. Wi-Fi, cell or GPS are not needed— the app works fine without them.

Cosmic Watch

This award-winning reality-assisted enhanced app allows you to explore outer space by merely pointing your mobile device to the sky. Play astronaut for a flight through the solar system, learn about the stars and constellations in the sky above you, or travel time to skies past or future. Cosmic Watch 2, which costs $5, calculates unique astronomical occurrences so that the next large cosmic thing is never missed. The app features layered presentations, a whole sky 3D celestial sphere, a planetarium with star maps, a calculator for astronomical occurrences, a 3D astronomical clock, and a world clock. It also provides distinct opinions of the sky, the earth, and the solar system, and much more.

Solar Walk

Solar Walk is an extensive solar system encyclopedia anchored by a 3D model. Use the app to discover space, spacecraft, and planets through an interactive planetarium with panoramic pictures. You can see satellites, comets, asteroids and dwarf planets, discover space missions and spacecraft, and see the calendar of heavenly events. In their right real-time roles, all celestial bodies are depicted. You can also view realistic 3D models of spacecraft, satellites, and interplanetary stations and monitor the trajectory of their flight route, watch gravitational movements, and view pictures taken during the mission. The calendar of astronomy involves multiple heavenly occurrences such as solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, and moon phases, and historical space travel documents. A social function allows you to share your findings on Facebook with friends and family. An ad-supported version of Premium Access is $3.

Stellarium

If you're curious about stars, constellations, planets, comets, satellites like the International Space Station and objects in the deep sky, Stellarium is an app that provides you the lowdown without getting in your manner. Stellarium Mobile Sky Map offers a straightforward, minimalist interface that is good for beginners and children, along with a 3D rendering of the major planets and their satellites in the solar system.

Find out everything you need to understand about the sky above you with the over 600,000 star catalog of the app, presented as an adaptive sky map. The app allows you to find out how others interpret the stars and see pictures of Milky Way and deep sky objects, star extinction simulations, refraction of the atmosphere, and more.
