About

Point your iPhone at the sky. Follow the arrow. Lock on. Star & Planet Finder 7 is rebuilt from scratch: live AR pointing, a 3D Earth globe, and more than 10,000 satellites from your location - ISS, Hubble, Tiangong, Starlink trains, Iridium flares, NASA close approaches, and the Messier catalog. --------------------------------- REVIEWS --------------------------------- “I have dabbled with astronomy for 30 years, star maps, celestial co-ordinates, Patrick Moore’s year book but this app renders them all obsolete. It makes locating stars and planets child’s play!” “Got a telescope for Christmas and hated not knowing what I was looking at. This app made stargazing a million times better for me and my kids!” “Any astronomer knows the computational power needed for these algorithms. And the iPhone sensors are up to the task. Unique.” --------------------------------- WHAT YOU CAN DO --------------------------------- • Follow a live AR arrow to any planet, star, constellation, satellite, galaxy or near-Earth asteroid • Identify what’s in front of the camera - names appear as you pan • AR for everything, including a live orbit streak on the camera so you see where the satellite is going • Watch any satellite’s path in 3D, then hop into its POV - or a planet’s, or the Moon’s - and look back at Earth • Search the live catalog: every Starlink, Iridium, OneWeb, LEO and GEO satellite we track • See visible flyovers of ISS, Hubble, Tiangong and Starlink trains • For every pass: a reminder, a 3D flyover simulation, and an AR rehearsal of the same path • Get a Lock Screen Live Activity before a pass you can actually see • Track ISS cargo and crew launches and dockings • Follow NASA close approaches from JPL • All 88 constellations, 300 brightest stars, 110 Messier objects • Moon phase, planet facts, Home Screen widgets ALWAYS FREE Sun, Moon and every planet from your location - live position, rise/set and AR pointing.
