Star & Planet Finder 7 is rebuilt from scratch: a live AR arrow to every planet, 2.5 million stars, all 88 constellations and 110 Messier galaxies, nebulae and clusters - plus a 3D Earth globe and more than 10,000 satellites, from the ISS to Starlink.
---------------------------------
FIND ANY STAR, ANY NIGHT
---------------------------------
• Follow a live AR arrow to any planet, star, constellation, galaxy, nebula or near-Earth asteroid
• Point the camera and names appear as you pan - the sky identifies itself
• 2.5 million stars - tap any one for its name, magnitude, spectral class and temperature
• All 88 constellations as illustrated figures, drawn over the real stars
• Every Messier object as a real photograph on the sky: Andromeda, Orion Nebula, Pleiades and more
• A photographic Milky Way that stays sharp however far you zoom
---------------------------------
KNOW WHAT'S UP TONIGHT
---------------------------------
• Rise and set times for every planet, Moon phase and planet facts, from your location
• Scrub through time to see where everything will be tonight, next week or next year
• Sky Calendar: a year of eclipses, oppositions, supermoons and meteor shower peaks, with Add to Calendar
• Meteor showers in AR - streaks fly from the radiant when a shower is active
• The moons of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, in orbit
---------------------------------
MADE FOR THE TELESCOPE
---------------------------------
• Aim at a target, then follow the arrow to put it in your eyepiece
• Drag to align: if the compass drifts, drag the sky to match what you see
• Planetarium mode, Cinema Mode that hides every control, and a quiet deep-space ambience
---------------------------------
SATELLITES TOO
---------------------------------
• Visible flyovers of the ISS, Hubble, Tiangong and Starlink trains, timed for your location
• For every pass: a reminder, a 3D flyover simulation, an AR rehearsal and a Lock Screen Live Activity
• Search every Starlink, Iridium, OneWeb, LEO and GEO satellite we track, sorted by brightness
• ISS Station Cam: look down at Earth from the station, in high resolution
• Sky Alerts for ISS launches and dockings, and NASA close approaches from JPL
---------------------------------
SEE IT IN 3D, THEN SHARE IT
---------------------------------
• Watch any orbit around a 3D Earth globe
• Hop into a satellite's point of view - or a planet's, or the Moon's - and look back at Earth
• 3D planets and spacecraft you can spin in every detail view
• Record a clip of the Sky, Globe or Station Cam and share it to Instagram, TikTok or Facebook
• Home Screen widgets with tonight's sky at a glance
---------------------------------
