A complete sky map on your mobile phone

If you like astronomy and you like looking at the stars in the sky, this Google Sky Map application should not be missing on your phone.

What can Sky Map do?

Google Sky Map's greatest feature is that it gives you the ability to locate and view star, planet, and galaxy constellations simply by pointing your phone at the sky. You can zoom in or out and activate the constellation, planet or grid templates to choose which objects you want to look at. It will also allow you to find the situation of the celestial bodies based on your location on Earth, with the possibility of entering the name of the star or planet so that the application takes you there directly.

The features that Google Sky Map has to offer are possible thanks to the use of your phone's GPS and compass and not, as you might think, the camera. Able to work at any time of the day, it allows you to view more than 1,000 different stars, with the ability to search them by constellation or individually.

Download Google Sky Maps for Android and enjoy one of the most interesting astronomy-related applications available for smartphones.
