## What is Albedo?

• An interactive map and real-time trajectories
Track iconic satellites such as the ISS, Tiangong, Hubble as they move across the sky. The interactive map displays their real-time positions and ground track, helping you spot visible passes from your location with ease. Plus, new satellites are added to the app each time a new visible satellite is launched into orbit!

• Anticipate passes with precision
Plan your observations in advance by checking upcoming passes up to 7 days ahead. You’ll get all the essential information, including brightness magnitude, entry/exit from Earth’s shadow, weather conditions, cloud cover, and lunar phase. The app calculates your chances of observation, so you know when it’s the best time to look up. A built-in compass helps you visualize the satellite’s trajectory in the sky, making it even easier to know where to look.

• Personalized notifications based on observation conditions
Never miss a moment in the sky with customizable alerts. You can choose your favorite satellites, set a notification pre-alert period (from 5 to 30 minutes), and receive notifications only when the conditions are right for viewing.

• Designed for space lovers, photographers, and casual observers
This app is ideal for astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone who enjoys looking at the sky. Its clean, user-friendly interface makes it simple to use for both beginners and seasoned sky watchers, while providing all the detailed data needed for a perfect stargazing experience.
