SKY TONIGHT is a brand-new astronomical app for exploring the sky. It helps stargazers answer the three most common questions:
⁕ What is that bright dot in the sky?
⁕ What astronomical events can I see tonight?
⁕ How can I find the object I'm interested in?
Made by the developers of Star Walk apps, Sky Tonight is a customizable stargazing tool, that is designed for users with different needs and wants. You can adjust the constellation's appearance, set a reminder for any space body configuration, explore the unique relative to observer trajectory, set up a magnitude limit to filter out space objects, and much more.
SKY TONIGHT FEATURES:
► Point your device at the sky to see the real-time positions of space objects on the interactive sky map.
► Activate the Time Machine and determine the position of celestial bodies at different time periods.
► Use the augmented reality mode and see the sky map overlaid on the image from your device's camera.
► Get extended information about any sky object by tapping on its name.
► Stay updated on the latest news from the world of astronomy with the What's new section.
► Turn on the night mode to make your sky observation in the nighttime more comfortable.
► Filter the objects that appear on the sky map according to their visual brightness.
► Regulate the brightness of objects on the sky map.
► Spot dozens of asterisms along with the official constellations.
► Adjust the visible constellations and customize their representation on the screen.
UNIQUE FEATURES:
◆ INTERACTIVE TRAJECTORIES RELATIVE TO AN OBSERVER
Instead of the classic trajectory that shows the object’s trajectory in the celestial sphere relative to the Earth’s center, the app presents the object’s trajectory in the sky relative to an observer. A long touch on the trajectories relative to the observer will move the sky object to the selected point. While holding the touch, move your finger along the trajectory to change the time.
◆ FLEXIBLE SEARCH
Make use of the flexible search — quickly find space objects, easily navigate across different objects and events’ types. Look for "stars", "mars moons", "mars conjunctions", "solar eclipse", and the app will show you all related objects, events, and articles!
There are also Trending and Recent categories in the search section. The first one presents the currently most popular objects, events, or news; the second category contains objects you recently selected.
◆ FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE EVENT REMINDERS
Set event reminders on any time and date not to miss a solar eclipse, a Full Moon, or a star-planet configuration you're interested in.
◆ ASTRONOMY CALENDAR WITH A STARGAZING INDEX AND WEATHER FORECAST
Check out the calendar of celestial events that includes lunar phases, meteor showers, eclipses, oppositions, conjunctions, and other exciting events. Learn what astronomy events will occur this month or see what happened in the sky a year ago!
Verify the Stargazing Index calculated from a Moon phase, light pollution, cloudiness, and time when an object is visible. The higher this index is, the better the observation conditions are.
You don’t need several apps for your stargazing planning anymore; Sky Tonight contains all the info you need.
Premium Access:
* The app includes paid Premium Access. Get Premium Access to use Sky Tonight with no limits!

Now despite the fact that the app is good however it needs more music like add more soundtracks you know what in mean. And when you select the planets or asteroids or galaxies or satellites etc, they should play different sounds when they’re selected instead of them just playing 1 sound just like star walk 2. And when you tap on the info when you selected something which is either a planet or a star or a satellite or galaxy etc it should zoom you in and and you could view the models and just swipe to see more details. And also make models of every star and make models of satellites as well or galaxies or etc.
Best app ever

I have used this app for 3 days now and have found it exceptionally good. The ability to point your phone up at the stars and get all its information is amazing. Being able to use the app without WiFi was like seeing a shooting star just made the app 100x better. I truly believe that I will use this app for the rest of my life and I’m 18 lol. Will be recommending a lot of friends and others who share similar interests. How this app is free I don’t know but those who don’t download are stupid.
Tobias’s opinion

I think this application is an amazing piece of technology. for any up-and-coming astrology enthusiast, we would like to know where they are constellations sit within our beautiful skies. They can use this without problems of cloud cover or atmospheric conditions. I myself and 52 years old. Learning every day using this device has shown me so much. In one week, that I have learned in the last 50 years. Thank you very much to the software designers. Congratulations to the company I hope it’s made available for teaching and tutorial purposes in schools. I showed it to a friend of mine who has no knowledge of astronomy and he was glued.
RECOMMENDED!

using this app I was able to see where stuff was. Then a thought hit me. Can I see the andromeda galaxy from my backyard using my grandads binoculars? (I’m in class 5-6 btw) and I did just that. Installed this app and used it to follow the direction of the andromeda galaxy. And I looked up and saw 2 stars. Then I noticed something above them. My eyes adjusted and I was blown away. I was looking at andromeda for the first time in my life! When the Orion Nebula comes up in December I’m using this app 100%
