Fly to a star. Open any star's record and tap "fly there": the camera leaves the Sun, passes the real stars on the way and stops at it. Up close, every star has the surface its kind has, in the colour of its light — and the dozen whose surfaces have actually been imaged or measured, like Betelgeuse and Altair, are drawn as they were found. Then pull back to its system: the planets known to go round it, beside our own, with the real distance between the two. New: Sky mode. Don't want the game? Switch it off on the first screen or in Settings, and one press logs a star. Everything you log counts if you start playing later. Fixed: the phone no longer freezes when you turn the camera backdrop on and off.
