Open Sky Map

Sky Map is the original point-your-phone-at-the-sky app. It began at Google in 2009 as Google Sky Map, the first app to show you what is overhead just by holding up a phone, and has been an independent open-source project for well over a decade. Now it is available on iPhone for the first time. Hold your iPhone up and the sky follows your view: stars, planets, constellations, nebulae and more, drawn for where you are and when. • Point and find: move the phone and the sky moves with you • Search for any object and Sky Map points the way • Time travel: see the sky as it was or will be, at any date • Tap an object for its details and a photo • Night mode keeps your eyes adapted in the dark • Free and open source, with no ads and no account Location is optional: allow it, or enter a place yourself. Usage statistics are not linked to your name or account, and you can turn them off in Settings. Sky Map is free; if you enjoy it, there are optional tips on the Support screen.
