Description

Developed in collaboration with THAMES & KOSMOS:
The Sky – Astronomy, a powerful and easy-to-use planetarium – your daily companion for observing the sky!

Which star is this? Where do I find Mars? Is it the ISS up there? Hold your smartphone or tablet up to the sky and see which planets, stars, or constellations are above you.

Where is Jupiter and how can I find my zodiac in the sky? The Sky shows you the position of celestial objects in the sky with just a few taps. Get close-up views not only of near-Earth planets and moons, but also experience deep-space objects in stunning detail.

What do the Saturnian moons look like? The Sky takes you on a breath-taking journey into the infinite realms of outer space. Fly to planets, stars, and other celestial bodies and let the app tell you about our Universe.

What is a solar eclipse and what does an opposition of Mars mean? The Sky answers your questions with stunning animations and insightful explanations. Thus, even beginners will be able to understand the mechanics and to visually imagine the most important celestial events.

No matter if you are a beginner or amateur astronomer, child or adult - with the intuitive app The Sky, everyone will immediately understand the sky - without much prior knowledge and long training.

Shine with your knowledge of the sky, around the campfire or on night walks: with The Sky, astronomy will always be a pleasure! Discover the joy of watching the skies and the age-old fascination with space that has inspired mankind for millennia – and become part of the worldwide Redshift community.
The app contains more than 9,000 stars, 88 constellations, hundreds of moons, asteroids and comets, as well as 200 spectacular deep-sky objects - all with accurate position calculation and motion tracking in real time.

At a glance:
• Recognize the stars and constellations of the night sky
• Identify planets, moons, comets, and satellites and track their paths
• Take breath-taking flights through space to distant stars and colorful nebulae
• See what’s going on in the sky tonight with a direct simulation of the events
• Learn to understand astronomical phenomena and events

New in version 2.0:
• Eclipse Timetable
• Orbits of celestial objects
• Expanded database with 6500 cities worldwide, including 2500 cities in the United States

Were you able to witness the total solar eclipse in North America on April 8, 2024? This app contains everything you need know about this magical event:

• Detailed description of the path of the eclipse in Mexico, the USA and Canada
• Information on how to safely observe a solar eclipse
• Eclipse timetable with the exact times for your location or best viewing position
• Direct simulation of the eclipse in exciting animations
• Sky map with the planets and stars that could be seen during the totality phase
• Illustrated explanations of how a solar eclipse occurs
• Everything about solar eclipses: Explanations and facts, illustrated with pictures and videos
• Location selection via map, location search or GPS or selection of the "best position" for observation

Your thirst for knowledge is not yet satisfied? With the premium subscription, you can activate many additional spaceflights and orbits as well as additional knowledge sections of "Discover astronomy" - and you can travel through space free of advertising. There is also an eclipse calendar with all solar and lunar eclipses between 1900 and 2100 and a guided tour of the U.S. MARS 2020 mission. This tour includes images and animations of the landing on Mars, as well as of the environment at the landing site of the Mars rover Perseverance.
