Unfortunately, this app is only on for Android Phones. "Sky Walk" seems to be similar app for the iPhone and costs about $3.00.
Here's a link to the iTunes app store: Sky Walk

Here's a fun app.
For those of you with Droid phones, there's a cool app that lets you see the sky through your phone. Who needs eyes anymore?

It's a pretty neat app to fiddle with if you can't see the stars directly. It allows you to see comets as they make their way through space, approaching meteoroids and meteor shower events, and it shows you the location of the planets as well as many other stellar bodies. The coolest thing though is the time travel function that the app has that lets you set a date in the past or future and you can see what the sky looked like or will look like at that time.

This app looks amazing and I wanted to download it on my iphone. What is the name of the app because I cannot find it?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Google Sky Map is unavailable for iPhones at the moment. However, I believe there is an app called "Sky Walk" for the iPhone that costs about $3.00, but is apparently much better than the android's sky map. Here is a link to the iTunes store:
