Sky Map: Stars & Planets

About this app

See exactly what you're looking at — the moment you look up. Point your phone at the night sky and Sky Map instantly identifies the stars, planets, constellations, and satellites above you. No coordinates to decode, no guesswork — just follow the arrow and look up. WHY SKY MAP • Guided Object Finder — An on-screen arrow, with a haptic tap the moment you're on target, walks you straight to any star, planet, or satellite. Built for beginners, precise enough for experienced observers. • Satellite Passes You Can Actually See — Rise, peak, and set times for the International Space Station and Hubble, computed from live orbital data, with a visibility rating so you know which passes are worth going outside for. Optional alerts, ten minutes ahead. • Northern Lights Forecast — Aurora probability for your exact location from NOAA space-weather data, the Kp level your latitude needs, and a three-day forecast. Get an alert when a storm is on the way. • Tonight's Observing Score — Live cloud cover, humidity, visibility, and Moon brightness rolled into one number that tells you whether tonight is worth going outside for. • Calibrated AR Sky View — Point your camera at the sky and see labels on the real thing, aligned to your device's actual field of view, with a drag-to-align fix for when your compass drifts. • Nova, Your AI Astronomer — Ask "What's that bright star?" or "Where's Mars tonight?" and get an answer grounded in your exact sky, not a canned response. • Time Travel — See the sky as it looked, or will look, on any date from 1900 to 2100. • Red Night Mode — A true astronomer's red interface that protects your night vision. • Observation Journal & Planner — Log every session with photos, equipment and notes; schedule a target and get a reminder before it rises, with the direction already worked out for you. • Astrophotography Starting Points — Lens, exposure, and ISO suggestions for whatever you're pointing at. • Beginner & Expert Modes — Plain-language directions for newcomers, precise coordinates and magnitudes for seasoned stargazers. • Kids Mode — Astronomy quizzes and family-friendly challenges. • Works Offline — The sky map, a 6,318-star catalog, and all 88 constellation figures work without a connection.
