What's New in Stellar Tour

8.0

September 9, 2026

Stellar Tour 8.0 is the biggest update the app has ever had. • Learn the sky: a course in astronomy in fifteen short lessons, from the sky over your head to the edge of the universe. Every stop is a live visit in the sky. The first three lessons are free. • Fifteen languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and Vietnamese join English, Spanish, and Icelandic, with every page, picture, and diagram translated. • Seven skies: the star figures, folk names, stories, and festivals of Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, India, and the Arabian desert, drawn on your sky beside the Western constellations. • A new look: a sky that follows the time of day, a real atmosphere, hazy ridges on the horizon, the Milky Way drawn from every Gaia star, earthshine on the new Moon, city lights on Earth's night side, and stars that blaze like suns when you fly to them. • Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope pictures on the object pages, and photographs that fill the screen. • Three reference books, How We Know, The Sky, and The Whole Story, with a glossary and new diagrams. • The Tonight widget finds its own night wherever you are, and the app uses far less memory at launch. • And a great many fixes across the object sheets, the calendar family, Kid Mode, Night Vision, the iPad, and VoiceOver.

You are the best app ever really 📣

Good fun learning with kids

My kids learn more about starts and planets.

amazing

great app, can't deside if SkyView is better, but i recommend getting both

WOW!!

This is the greatest app! I love being able to even see the moon below the horizon so I know where it will rise! Since I live so near a large city, it’s not always easy to see all the stars. So it’s great that the app helps me identify the constellations even when I’m not able to see all the stars involved! It’s almost like a video game! :)
