Star Chart

The night sky has always belonged to everyone. Now Star Chart does too.

Used by over 40 million people worldwide, Star Chart turns your Android device into a window onto the whole visible universe — just point it at the sky and the stars introduce themselves.

✦ Sponsor a Star

Star Chart is free. Every feature, every upgrade, every corner of the cosmos — no paywalls, no subscriptions. If Star Chart brings you joy, you can support it by sponsoring a real star and making it your own. A small act of cosmic ownership that keeps the app alive for everyone.

What you'll find up there:

• Point your device at the sky and Star Chart tells you exactly what you're looking at — in real time, using GPS and a precise 3D model of the universe

• Over 20 million stars accurately mapped across both hemispheres

• All 88 constellations, illustrated with the timeless artwork of 17th-century astronomer Johannes Hevelius

• Every planet in the solar system, their moons and the Sun — all rendered in beautiful 3D

• The complete Messier catalogue of 110 deep sky objects

• Comets, meteor showers, and satellites tracked live

• Guided Tours — let Star Chart take you on a journey through the night sky

• Time Shift: travel up to 10,000 years into the past or future and watch the sky change

• Voice control: just say "Fly me to the Moon" or "Where is Andromeda?"

• Tap anything to learn more — distance, brightness, mythology and more

• View below the horizon, set any location on Earth, zoom deep into star fields

Whether you're a curious child pointing a phone at the dark, or a lifelong amateur with a telescope and a notebook — Star Chart is your companion under the stars.
