Description
Hold the Moon in your hands. Moon Globe turns your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a precision instrument for viewing Earth's Moon. Satellite imagery and topographic laser altimeter data are combined to render the Moon with realistic lighting in realtime 3D.
Use the multitouch screen to manipulate the view. Spin above the surface, or switch to Telescope mode to see the Moon as it appears from your location on Earth. Adjust the display time and watch the sunlight shift over the lunar landscape. A "tag cloud" floats just above the surface, labeling terrain features and spacecraft; touch any label to find out more about that feature. Moon Globe also shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky with its dynamic sky compass.
This sophisticated astronomy simulation is FREE so that you can learn about Earth's Moon and wow your friends with what your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad can do. For Moon Globe fans, Moon Globe HD is also available with twice the map resolution.
What’s New
Version 2.3
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
• Updated for iOS 7 and iOS 8. iOS 7 or later is required for this update.
• Supports full resolution on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
• Slightly improved graphics rendering (since OpenGLES 1.x no longer has to be supported).
• The Sky Compass projection is now based on angular elevation. This better indicates how high the Moon and Sun are in the sky.
Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic App
Great app for exploring the features of the moon. If I could offer 2 suggestions for later updates...
1) change the colour of the labels to something other than white so you can read them easier
2) the ability to select what labels you want to appear (possibly through selection on the alphabetical listing) - eg if you only wanted the labels to appear for a select group of targets, such as 4-5 specific craters etc, that would make this app even more fantastic!
Love It
I have a printed moon map which shows perfect views; this app compliments that by showing what I can expect to see at the time I’m observing. Shows reverse views for different telescope use.
Very nice
Complete access to the moons features. Perfect for orientation when moongazing
