We’re exciting to announce some big updates in Cosmic Atlas 2.1.1! ::::: Major Feature Update ::::: Telescope Mode is here! Our first iteration of the AR star-gazing feature where you can point your phone to see where nearby planets or distant stars can be found in the night sky. From there you can tap on any label to see more info and - feature unique to Cosmic Atlas - you can fly to the selected star or planet in first person with the tap of a button. ::::: Major Database Update ::::: Our biggest database update since launch, the number of exoplanets available to explore has DOUBLED to a whopping 4,987 planets outside of our solar system! With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope we’re anticipating some incredible new discoveries in the next year that will bring this total higher and provide a much deeper understanding of known exoplanets in systems like TRAPPIST-1. Stay tuned for more! ::::: New Settings ::::: Systems Only :: Enable to hide labels for stars without exoplanets in Pilot, Navigator, & Telescope modes. Objects with Info Only :: Enable to hide labels for stars without detailed data available. ::::: Feedback / Bug Report Feature ::::: The main menu has a new [FEEDBACK] option (with a bug icon) to make it easy for users to let us know about any bugs, issues, incorrect information, or any other feedback to help us continue to improve the app. ::::: Technical Stuff ::::: As with all updates, this release contains various updates to improve performance and stability.

2.0

February 20, 2022

2.0 is the first of more big updates to come in 2022, starting with a new HDR rendering option! HDR (High Dynamic Range) realistically simulates the vast difference in brightness between stars, planets and the night sky. Stars will glow and create lens flares, and the camera will adjust its sensitivity based on what is in front of it. Turn this off if you prefer a more photographic look where you can see details in everything at once. New settings menu to toggle HDR renderer on or off (more setting options coming soon)

  • There are more planets that look like Mars

    I really liked you did the hot planets!
  • This game is so fun

    This game is very fun, but very sad that I cannot buy upgrade
  • Good app but one more thing

    This is a really good and cool app because, I used to not have any apps with exoplanets
    because I thought those were the only ones. but one thing needs to be added. Haumea is egg shaped so could you please add that?
