No sign-up. No paywall. Just open it and look up.

TONIGHT AT A GLANCE
Your home screen is a live dashboard for the night ahead: NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, the next rocket launches with countdowns, field notes, a gear spotlight, and curated creator picks — everything that matters tonight in one scroll.

SPACE NEWS, ALL IN ONE FEED
Stop juggling a dozen tabs. AstroNexus aggregates 36+ trusted sources — space agencies, astrophotography blogs, creators, podcasts, and community channels — into one filterable feed. Bookmark anything to read later.

WATCH IT LIVE
Twelve curated live streams from space agencies, launch providers, and coverage outlets, so you never miss a launch, spacewalk, or landing.

A FULL INSTRUMENT HUB
The Tools tab is packed with utilities for planning and observing:
• Stargazing Weather — local conditions, hourly forecast, and a 7-night outlook
• Aurora Tracker — live Kp index, 24-hour history, solar flux, sunspots, and NOAA storm scales
• Solar Activity — live X-ray levels, flare detection and probabilities, active regions, and NOAA alerts
• Satellite Tracker — real-time orbital tracking of the ISS, China's Space Station, and Hubble
• Light Pollution — estimate sky darkness for any location
• Moon Phase — tonight's lunar phase at a glance
• Celestial Calendar — upcoming meteor showers, eclipses, conjunctions, and planetary events
• Deep-Sky Stacker — align and stack your astrophotos right on your phone
• Observation Log & Target List — record what you've seen and plan what's next
• Docking Simulator — try the SpaceX Dragon docking experience

NEVER MISS A LAUNCH
Track upcoming rocket launches with live countdowns, status updates, mission details, and pad info. Opt in to reminders at T-24h, T-1h, and T-15m, plus alerts when a launch is newly announced or rescheduled. Mute providers or individual launches to keep notifications exactly how you like them.

A DIRECTORY FOR THE COMMUNITY
Browse equipment and software recommendations and connect with 60+ astronomy clubs around the world.

BUILT FOR THE EYEPIECE
• Night Vision Mode applies a red overlay to protect your dark adaptation in the field
• A clean, dark, mission-control interface designed to stay out of your way
• A guided in-app tour walks you through every feature

POWERED BY REAL DATA
AstroNexus pulls live information from NASA, NOAA Space Weather, launch databases, and open mapping data — real numbers, updated continuously, not static placeholders.

WHO IT'S FOR
Whether you're a backyard beginner finding your first planet, an astrophotographer chasing clear skies, or a die-hard space fan tracking every launch, AstroNexus keeps the universe in your pocket.
