By SAO KIM, from Google Play“Night sky guide & constellation finder: identify stars, planets & meteor showers”
Description by SAO KIM Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Star View, by SAOKIM, is a night sky guide and AR star map for Android. Identify stars, planets and constellations, explore a live sky map and check the meteor shower calendar. No telescope or astronomy background is needed. If you have binoculars or a small telescope, discover plenty of objects to observe.
AR STAR MAP
• AR overlays your camera view with planet and bright-star names and constellation lines aligned with the sky.
• Tell Jupiter from a bright star or find Orion's Belt. Turn AR off to use a classic star chart.
CONSTELLATION FINDER
• Point at the sky to see constellations drawn and named.
• Tap a constellation for its brightest stars and the story behind its name.
• Switch sky cultures to explore how other cultures grouped the same stars.
With practice, you'll start recognizing them without your phone.
TONIGHT'S SKY
• See the sky above you now, based on your location, time and viewing direction.
• Find visible planets and local Moon and planet rise and set times.
• Pinch to zoom in on faint stars that may be invisible from the city.
METEOR SHOWERS, ECLIPSES & MOON PHASES
The astronomy calendar includes:
• Meteor shower peaks, such as the Perseids in August and Geminids in December.
• Solar and lunar eclipses, including the total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027.
• Full Moons, supermoons, Moon phases and conjunctions, when the Moon and planets appear close together.
During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon on the map turns coppery red.
ALSO IN STAR VIEW
• Sky Tours: guided tours of bright planets, major constellations and Messier objects for binoculars and small telescopes.
• Time Machine: move the sky forward or back to see Saturn at 10pm or the sky on the night you were born.
• AI Astro: ask questions in your own words, such as ""Why is Venus so bright?"" or ""What's the red star in Orion?""
• 3D planets and Moon: rotate and zoom detailed models of Earth, the Moon, the Sun and the planets.
