Incredible 3D models of celestial bodies:
- Planetary nebulae
- Constellations
- Dwarf planets comets and asteroids
- Man-made satellites
- Layer by layer planets and missions
DISCOVER NEW DEPTHS
Star Walk 2 is the first astronomy guide to introduce
plausible three-dimensional models of planetary nebulae.
Star groupings of the 88 officially recognized
constellations are also presented in volume. You can see them
as separate entities turn them around and take a look from the
other side. Complemented by articles on connected myths and history
this is the most comprehensive collection of information on
constellations.
REAL-TIME MOTION TRACKING
As you hold your phone up and point your phone towards the
sky Star Walk 2 follows your motions using the built-in digital
compass to match the map on your screen to the stars seen from your
location. Easily find any star constellation or satellite in the
sky by tapping Search. Star Walk will guide you by indicating
the direction to look at.
NOW AND LATER
Star Walk 2 gives you accurate daily data on current moon
phase time of sunset and sunrise and elevation of planets. With
just one slide you can see how the sky will look later tonight or
throughout the year.
PRO STARGAZING GUIDE
Special night-time soft red mode will help you preserve night
vision when stargazing with a telescope. You can see the sky in
X-Ray (and 5 more filters) to study the invisible structure of the
universe. Live tracking for over 8000 satellites will help
you catch iridium flares.
***Note***
- The Star Spotter feature won't work for the devices that are not
equipped with the gyroscope and compass.
- For Android 4.4 KitKat users: the application doesn't support ART
please switch to Dalvik.
