Sky Map: Stars & Planets
Stargazing AR Finder & Tracker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
All 88 constellations, beautifully illustrated. Never miss an eclipse or meteor shower, see the ISS fly over, and ask Nova, your AI astronomer, about tonight's sky.
See exactly what you're looking at — the moment you look up.
Point your phone at the night sky and Sky Map instantly identifies the stars, planets, constellations, galaxies and satellites above you. No coordinates to decode, no guesswork — just follow the arrow and look up.
