Sky Guide

Hold your phone up to the night and every star, planet and constellation in front of you gets its name. The map follows your phone in real time, works offline, and needs no account.

WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

• A live sky map that moves with your phone: 5,000 stars, the 88 constellations, the Sun, the Moon and the planets

• Tap anything for its name, when it rises and sets, how high it is now and where to look

• Optional camera view: see the real sky behind the map

• Align the sky: center a bright star or planet and the compass is corrected

• Red night mode keeps your eyes used to the dark

WHERE IS IT?

• Search planets, stars, constellations and deep-sky objects, including popular names like the Big Dipper, the North Star, Orion's Belt or the Southern Cross

• An arrow guides you to it, and tells you when it rises if it is below the horizon

WHAT'S ON TONIGHT?

• The Moon: phase, how much is lit, moonrise and moonset

• The planets you can see tonight, with the best time and direction

• Deep-sky targets picked for your eyes, binoculars or telescope

• Coming up: meteor showers with the best dark hours from where you are, eclipses with their local start and end times, Moon and planet pairings, oppositions

• "Show in sky" jumps the map to the right moment and points at it

• Reminders the evening before the events you choose
