Cosmos in 60: Sky Map

Point your phone at the sky and find out what you are looking at.

Cosmos in 60 is a stargazing companion and a daily space briefing in one app. Hold your phone up to identify a star, then read the day's space story in the time it takes to finish a coffee.

THE SKY, DRAWN FOR WHERE YOU ARE
- 8,920 stars, every one visible to the naked eye, placed for your location and the exact moment you are looking
- All 88 constellations, with the figures and their names on a single switch
- The five naked-eye planets, the Sun, and the Moon with tonight's real phase
- Raise your phone and the sky follows it. No camera, no extra permissions
- Tap anything to identify it, or search a name and the view swings to it
- Pan away and an arrow points back to what you were looking at
- Works with no signal. The whole sky is computed on your device

WHAT'S UP TONIGHT
- A short, plain-English guide to what is actually worth looking up for
- Tonight's moon phase
- An aurora outlook built from NOAA's live planetary K-index and your geomagnetic latitude, which is the latitude that decides the answer rather than the one on the map

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, LIVE
- Watch the ISS cross a rotating globe in real time
- Tap it for the region it is over, its speed and its altitude
- A day-night terminator drawn from the actual position of the Sun

THE DAILY 60
- One space story a day, written to be read in sixty seconds
- This day in space history
- The next rockets going up, with a live countdown
- Longer reads when you want them
