Track the sun, moon moving above you in real time with solar and moon rise / set. AstroNav keeps track of planetary movement as the day progresses, highlighting the sun, moon, planets, and zodiac constellations. Drawn as a single living dial, AstroNav shows that "now" is always a moment under the stars. PLAY THROUGH THE DAY Tap play and watch your day unfold — the sun climbs and sets, the moon rises, the light shifts hour by hour, each event lighting up as it passes. Or slide through a 48-hour window and jump to any date to see where the sun, moon, and planets will be. The dial, the light, and the sky move with you. WHEN TO LOOK UP The events feed knows when the sky is worth stepping outside for — the clear, dark, moonless windows best for stargazing, alongside full moons, meteor showers, conjunctions, equinoxes, and more. No alerts, no nagging; it's simply there when you open it. INTERACTIVE SKY DIAL Quickly identify celestial bodies overhead based on your current time and estimated position. Prepare your star sights before twilight. Privacy Policy: https://timespaceatlas.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Vincent

Features
Read full description

Point Vincent at the sky. The Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and constellations settle onto the camera, in the direction you're facing. By day you can see where they are. At night you can put a name to the light you're looking at. Tap a star for its name, how bright it is, and how far away it is. The Moon shows its phase, and when it rises and sets. The Sun shows where it stands. A planet shows its name and how bright it is. Turn the lines, the stars, or the planets down until the sky looks the way you want. A compass along the bottom shows which way you're facing. It stays on your iPhone. No account, and nothing to subscribe to.
