SpaceDeck Stargazer

The night sky, engraved. Stargazer shows the sky above you tonight and draws it the way the great atlases did: all 88 constellations in the engravings of Johannes Hevelius (1690) and Johann Bode (1801), laid in gold over the real stars. Hold up your phone to find any of them, even through the roof or under cloud. A CONSTELLATION, EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT • Each launch begins with one gold spark in the dark. The stars come up brightest first, light runs along the lines of a constellation that is above you tonight, and its engraving settles over the stars. • A quiet card says what it is, where to look in words ("High in the south, highest 20:16"), and one line of its myth from the ancient sources, with the translator named. • Swipe for the next constellation that is up tonight. Touch the card to open its page. THROUGH THE ROOF • On a rainy evening, or in the middle of the day, hold your phone up to the ceiling and see the stars that are there, as if there were no roof and no clouds. • Hold a constellation in the middle for a moment and it lights up. TONIGHT, HONESTLY (PRO) • One sentence on whether the night will be clear, and when, from Apple Weather. • How many stars you will actually see, as a range, from the clouds, the Moon, twilight and the light pollution where you are. • The whole night in one strip: dusk, cloud, moonrise and dawn. Drag it and the sky follows. • When it is too uncertain, Stargazer says so in words. THE ATLAS (PRO) • All 88 constellations on a globe you turn with a finger, with the engravings on it. • An index with a picture of each figure, sorted by what is up tonight and when the rest come back. • Each page: the figure over the real stars, in its engraving where the old atlases drew one; the myth quoted from the primary source, or for the modern figures how they were drawn; its history, the stars that matter, and when to see it from where you are.
