A fantastic sky map in a portable format

Stellarium is a portable digital planetarium that allows us to observe the night sky as we would see it with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It also includes a tool for identifying stars, planets, constellations, satellites, shooting stars, and other celestial bodies.

So it's an alternative to Sky Map, but with a different approach. While Sky Map lets you identify stars and other celestial bodies by pointing your phone at the sky, this tool works by location. In this way, it shows us the night sky at the location and invites us to explore the entire sky by sliding our finger on the screen.

Also, we can see the stars in the sky for any date and time and get detailed information about the celestial bodies. And there are even cultural dates of other civilizations.

In short, this is one of the best apps to explore the charms of the universe. Fans of astronomy and stargazing shouldn't miss this portable planetarium.
