Live Sky helps you explore the sky from your observing location, follow the Moon and planets, and plan what to see with binoculars or a telescope.

YOUR SKY, WHERE YOU ARE
See which objects are above your horizon, their direction and altitude, and when they rise, set or reach their highest point. Explore planets, stars, constellations and deep-sky objects, with detailed views and observing information.

PLAN AHEAD
Use Time Machine to preview the sky up to 12 hours ahead. Follow Moon phases and an astronomy events calendar, including meteor showers and eclipses. Event visibility depends on your location. Save favorites and create observation alerts so you can return to the objects that matter to you.

KNOW YOUR VIEW
Save an observing location and capture a viewpoint outline to account for buildings, trees and other obstructions. Explore your saved horizon in a 3D sky view. Add your observing equipment to keep your plans organized.

TODAY AND PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS
Today brings together local observing cards and a view of your evening. Optional AI summaries provide another way to understand your observing plan. AI features need an internet connection. Weather forecasts help you plan; check local conditions before observing.

FREE AND LIVE SKY PLUS
The free app includes the sky catalog, local Today cards, Time Machine, events, up to 3 favorites, 1 saved location, 1 viewpoint and 3 observation alerts. A generated Today summary is available at most once every 12 hours.

An optional Live Sky Plus subscription removes ads and the limits on saved favorites, locations, viewpoints and observation alerts. Plus also adds generated object summaries, limited to once per object every 12 hours. The generated Today summary remains limited to once every 12 hours with Plus. Subscription price and terms are shown before purchase.

Plus also includes optional Smart Observing Alerts. Sync your saved observing setup to receive notifications for weather-based observing windows. Internet access, notification permission and an active verified Plus subscription are required. Forecasts and notifications are not guaranteed.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose a color theme, use night-friendly display options, and control optional analytics in Settings. Location, camera and notification permissions are requested when you use the relevant features.

Never look at the Sun through binoculars or a telescope without proper certified solar filters.
