Application for searching stars. Star Walk is one of the most beautiful apps for night sky lovers (Now also for Android)

Dedicated to all romantics and astrologers!

- a star map with a bunch of nice additions. In general, the application is conventionally called a map, because... in fact, everything is made in the form of a game without a plot. You "play" from the first person - from the Earth.

In contact with

You can turn in different directions and use the zoom to look for stars and constellations of interest. You can click on each of them and then a page will appear on which you can read a description of the object. For convenience, there is a button at the bottom left to search for the starry sky object you are interested in. Star Walk supports Russian, which is very nice.

In addition to many planets, on the interactive map you can even find artificial satellites plowing the Earth’s orbit. The most interesting thing is that all the action of the application occurs in real time, i.e. You can notice the movement of satellites and the slow movement of stars around the sun.

To make it even more impressive, the developers have added the ability to look at the starry sky through various filters: X-ray radiation, infrared radiation, radio radiation, etc. These filters were added more for the spectacle of the application than for anything else.

And if you consider that the application has received a number of prestigious awards, it is doubly pleasant. As part of the project, we will talk about the Star Walk pocket observatory. If you are reading this blog, you will notice that Sasha already, but that was half a year ago, since then there have been many changes, the most important of which is the appearance of a version for Android.

Briefly
With Star Walk you can see stars, planets, constellations, satellites, meteor showers not only from the point where you are currently located, but also from any place on Earth.

Requirements
iOS: 5.0 or later, 83 MB free space. Suitable for: iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Application in Russian. Age 4+
Android 4.0 or later, 112 MB free space.

Details
First of all, the application is interesting to those who like to look at the starry sky, but do not always understand what is where. Personally, I belong to this type of people. The principle of operation is that, using GPS and an accelerometer, Star Walk determines the exact location of the device and correlates what you see with a star map. After launching, I found the moon in the sky, the application showed exactly the same location on the smartphone. Accordingly, when you move the device, the sky on it will also change. Perhaps this is the most important thing for me. The fact is that not all applications before this determined my coordinates correctly. You can click on each of the objects and then a page will appear on which you can read a detailed description of the object.

Star Walk has many settings and filters. You can find a specific celestial body.

View sunrise and sunset times.

But personally, I am always interested in the ISS. It is always interesting to understand and watch the passage of the station, apparently this is due to the fact that people constantly live at the station. If you look at the sky and see a satellite, you can always tell whose it is.

Here is a short video that shows all the beauty.

Are you a developer? There is a special one for you

Looking at the night sky strewn with stars, I often remember the Soviet cartoon “I Give You a Star,” a magnificent work by Fyodor Savelyevich Khitruk. But seriously, like probably most of us, in the starry sky I can only distinguish one constellation - Ursa Major. In order to learn about the stars, their names and other constellations, excellent applications have been created, which I would like to tell you about today.

Star Walk 2

Star Walk 2 is one of the most beautiful apps that will take your breath away with its 3D animations. All you have to do is raise your iPhone to the sky to find out the information you need about the stars. Their exact coordinates will be displayed on the screen, as well as the constellations to which they belong. In addition, the application is accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack and various pleasant sound effects. Star Walk 2 also allows you to see what the starry sky will look like later in the day or even a month later. An excellent application that is difficult to compete with.

Star Chart

Star Chart functions in exactly the same way as Star Walk 2. Thanks to its capabilities, you can see not only the stars of your hemisphere, but also those of the opposite hemisphere. To do this, just point your iPhone at the ground, and you will see what stars people in other countries are observing. Time Shift allows you to view the starry sky in the near future. To study the stars, you don’t have to constantly point your smartphone at the sky; the app will also help you with a variety of gestures. When you make an in-app purchase, you will also have detailed information about a variety of comets and meteor showers.

Star Rover

Star Rover helps you explore the star map using the same augmented reality as previous apps. Star Rover has information on 120,000 stars and 88,000 constellations. In order to learn something new about any stellar body, just click on it. To look at the sky from another point on Earth, you need to manually enter the coordinates you need. With just a couple of clicks, you can also get information about the Moon and its different phases.

SkyView Free

Like previous applications, SkyView complements the reality around you. You can view information about stars, constellations, and also observe the sky, look at its condition in the past and future.

SkyView Satellite Guide

Looking at the starry sky, you may forget about how many satellites fly around our Earth. For many, watching them can also be a very interesting activity. The app can track their location and tell you who launched them, as well as provide you with other useful information. You can even get a notification when one of the satellites passes overhead.

And finally, that wonderful cartoon “I Give This Star”, watch and enjoy the beauty of the starry sky!
