Features & Capabilities

The Sky by Redshift, developed in collaboration with THAMES & KOSMOS, is a beginner-friendly planetarium that helps you identify stars, planets, and constellations with a few taps. It offers real-time position data, immersive flythroughs through space, and close-up views of moons and spacecraft, making complex astronomy accessible for kids and adults alike.
