Beschrijving

Our Galaxy is a unique app for both amateur astronomers and astronomy educators. It helps you visualize the 3-dimensional locations of deep sky objects in and around our galaxy, and provides you with an understanding of their physical properties. It addition, it illustrates the structural components of the Galaxy, including the thin disk, thick disk, galactic bulge and stellar halo.

The 3-D interface allows you to see where the cluster or nebula of interest is located relative to the center and plane of the Galaxy. By panning around, or moving closer to or farther away from the object, you derive a sense of where the object really is in 3-dimensional space.

The app enhances the observing experience by helping the user arrive at an intuitive sense of physical location, size, luminosity, and distance for the chosen object. It also serves as a great tool for education and outreach with its unusual visual perspective on the location of deep sky objects and their relationship to the center and plane of our galaxy.

Our Galaxy is also available of macOS.

Our galactic neighborhood

This app gives a great insight into our galactic neighborhood. If you have any interest in our sun’s position compared to other objects, open clusters for instance, then is it.
It gives location information for these objects, so you even might be able to look for them in the night sky.

I had some issues with the app, but the developer(s) were quick in their response and explained what and why.
