Identify stars, constellations, planets, comets, satellites (such
as the ISS), and other deep sky objects in real time in the sky
above you in just a few seconds, just by pointing the phone at the
sky!
This astronomy application has an easy to use and minimalist user
interface, that makes it one of the best astronomical applications
for adults and children who want to explore the night sky.
This Plus version will also satisfy the most demanding astronomy
enthusiasts thanks to its massive collection of sky objects (up to
magnitude 22 versus magnitude 10 in the standard version) and
advanced observing features for controlling telescopes or preparing
observing sessions.
Stellarium Plus features:
– View an accurate night sky simulation of stars and planets for
any date, time and location.
– Dive in a collection of many stars, nebulas, galaxies, star
clusters and other deep sky objects.
– Discover how people living in other regions of the planet see the
stars by selecting the shapes and illustrations of the
constellations for many sky cultures.
– Track artificial satellites, including the International Space
Station.
– Simulate landscape and atmosphere with realistic sunrise, sunset
and atmosphere refraction.
– Discover 3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their
satellites.
– Observe the sky in night mode (red) to preserve your eyes
adaptation to darkness.
– Reach the limit of knowledge by diving in a massive collection of
stars, nebulas, galaxies, star clusters and other deep sky
objects:
• All known starsGaia DR2 catalog of over 1.69 billion stars
• All known planets, natural satellites and comets, and many other
minor solar system objects (10k asteroids)
• Most known deep sky objectsa combined catalog of over 2 million
nebulas and galaxies
– Zoom almost without limits on high resolution images of deep sky
objects or planetary surfaces.
– Observe in the field, even without internet connection, with a
“reduced” set of data2 million stars, 2 million Deep Sky Objects,
10k asteroids.
– Control your telescope through Bluetooth or WIFIdrive any GOTO
telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan or LX200 protocols.
– Prepare your observing sessions using the advanced observation
tools, to predict a celestial object observability and transit
times.
