## What is 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.
