Star Map Night Sky vs Almighty

SpaceUtil is a star map with AR that helps you find constellations, explore a 3D solar system, follow the ISS tracker live and see where Voyager is right now. The whole night sky in one astronomy app, with no account, and almost everything computed on your device without an internet connection. ■ AR STAR MAP AND SKY VIEWER • Point your phone at the sky to see the stars and constellations in that direction. • 120,000 stars and all 88 constellations with lines, names and artwork. • AR mode overlays the sky chart on your camera view. • Red night mode for comfortable stargazing in the dark. • Search for a star, planet or constellation and an arrow guides you to it. • Rewind or fast-forward time to see the sky on any date. ■ 3D SOLAR SYSTEM • An orrery with the Sun, the eight planets and major moons in their real positions. • Rotate and zoom with your fingers, and tap a planet for its story. • Live distances to each planet, Jupiter's four big moons and Saturn's rings. • Follow conjunctions and planet alignments. ■ LIVE ISS TRACKER • See where the International Space Station is right now on a 3D globe and a world map, updated every second. • Visible pass predictions for your location with time, direction and altitude. • A sky-path view of each pass. ■ WHERE ARE VOYAGER 1 AND 2? • Follow the two farthest human-made objects on a 3D map of the solar system. • See their current distance from Earth, computed on your device from public space-agency reference data. ■ TONIGHT • A briefing on tonight's observing conditions based on the moon phase and twilight times. • 5 objects worth looking at right now. • Sun, moon and planet rise and set times. • Civil, nautical and astronomical twilight. ■ MOON, ECLIPSES, METEOR SHOWERS • Moon phase calendar and lunar age. • Upcoming solar and lunar eclipses. • Every major meteor shower with its peak night and how bright the moon will be. ■ ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY HELPERS • 500-rule exposure calculator. • Milky Way planner. • Golden hour, blue hour and moonrise direction. ■ LEARN AND PLAY • Constellation myths and a space quiz. • The sky on your birthday and light travel time. • Light-year, AU and parsec converter. • An exoplanet catalog. • An observation log with badges. ■ GETTING STARTED • Open the star map and hold your phone up toward the sky. • Switch on AR mode to see constellation lines over the camera image. • Turn on red mode once you are outside in the dark. • Search for a planet or star and follow the arrow. • Check Tonight before heading out. ■ WHO IS IT FOR? • Stargazers identifying stars and constellations with AR. • Space fans tracking the ISS, the Voyager probes and planetary alignments. • Astrophotographers planning Milky Way shots. • Anyone learning about exoplanets, myths and moon phases. ■ TIPS • Use time controls to preview the sky on an eclipse date. • Check how bright the moon will be before a meteor shower peak night. • Log what you observe to collect badges. ■ FAQ • Do I need an account? No. There is no account and no cloud. • Does it work offline? Almost everything is computed on your device. • Is the camera image saved? No, never. • Are there ads? A single banner ad at the bottom of the screen supports development. No full-screen or video ads. ■ PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS • Location is used only on the device to align the sky map. • The camera powers the AR view, and its image is never captured, stored or sent anywhere. Data sources: an open star catalog (CC BY-SA) and public satellite, space-weather and planetary data. SpaceUtil is not affiliated with or endorsed by the data providers. Clear skies from SpaceUtil.

Almighty is a real-time geospatial observatory: open aeronautical, orbital, geophysical and meteorological data streams, fused into one explorable 3D globe. Aircraft transponders, published orbital elements, seismic networks, satellite thermal sensors and numerical weather models already describe the state of the planet minute by minute. Almighty resolves them into a single Earth-fixed frame and lets you interrogate it by touch or by voice. AVIATION • Live traffic: ADS-B positions from a community receiver network, advanced between reports by dead reckoning, so aircraft move continuously instead of jumping. • Target tracking: select any aircraft and the camera locks on, drawing the track flown since take-off and a short projected path, with callsign, type, altitude, ground speed and heading. • Chase and cockpit views: per-class 3D aircraft models flown over 3D terrain, seen from behind or from the flight deck. • Airports: arrivals, departures and aircraft on the ground, with the latest METAR observation. • Watchlist: save flights and be alerted to take-off and landing while the app is open. ORBITAL AND DEEP SPACE • Satellites: CelesTrak element sets propagated on the device with the SGP4 model, colour-coded by class, from crewed stations to navigation and weather constellations. • Solar System: planets, moons, asteroids and active spacecraft on a time axis, with spacecraft ephemerides from NASA JPL Horizons. • Missions: Voyager 1, Cassini, Perseverance, Apollo 11 and more, each placed where it happened. • Surface exploration: the Moon, Mars and the planets in 3D, with landing sites and named features. THE SKY ABOVE YOU • Celestial sphere: 9,096 naked-eye stars from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue, constellation figures and the Milky Way; the Sun, the Moon (in its true phase) and the planets computed on the device. • Augmented reality: compass and gyroscope orient the view, corrected for magnetic declination with the World Magnetic Model 2025, optionally over the live camera image, which never leaves the phone. • Overhead traffic: aircraft within about 90 km plotted at their true bearing and elevation, with a heading-locked radar. EARTH SYSTEM • Seismicity: earthquakes from the US Geological Survey's real-time feeds, clustered at global scale. • Wildfire: active-fire detections from VIIRS thermal sensors via NASA FIRMS. • Tropical cyclones: active storms from NOAA National Hurricane Center advisories. • Atmosphere: GOES and Himawari infrared cloud imagery and IMERG precipitation via NASA GIBS; 48-hour MET Norway forecasts of temperature, wind, precipitation, cloud, humidity and pressure. EVENTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE • News: major world events, disasters and breaking stories, geolocated from the GDELT event database, each linked to the original publisher. • Roads: live UK road incidents from Transport for London and national road authorities, and London traffic cameras. INTERFACE • Voice: hold to speak ("fly to Tokyo", "follow the ISS"). Apple speech recognition, most commands resolved on the device, and an optional language-model fallback that asks permission before first use. • Offline search: cities, countries, airports and raw coordinates resolved from a bundled gazetteer, with no network request. • Cartography: Clean, Satellite (Landsat detail), Today, Night lights (NASA Black Marble) and Classic styles, on a 3D globe with terrain or a flat projection. No account. No advertising. No cross-app tracking. Scope and limitations: every source is public or openly licensed and credited in the app. Live feeds can be delayed or incomplete; Almighty is an instrument for curiosity and study, not for navigation or safety-critical decisions. It observes public objects and events, never individuals: aircraft whose owners have requested privacy are excluded.
