App Description

Everything you need to enjoy the night sky. The Naked Eye Astronomy page tells you what to see and where to look. The Planisphere shows visible constellations and objects for nearly any location in the world. And the Astronomical Twilight page lets you know when it's dark enough to start observing.

From the Naked Eye page, you can access rise and set times for the moon, the sun, the visible planets, and the constellations. Constellation pages also include the mythology behind each group of stars.

At night, dark mode turns on automatically to help preserve your vision.

Over 64,000 world cities are built-in, so no internet connection is required.
