Najm Sky: Stars & Planets

Point your phone at the sky… and know what you're looking at. Najm Sky is a star map that names the stars, planets and constellations above your city in real time, then tells their stories in narrated journeys, in English and Arabic.

Is that bright light a star or Jupiter? When does Canopus return over your city? Why does the Moon change shape? Najm Sky answers while you look up.

◆ POINT AND IDENTIFY Hold your phone up to see every star, planet and constellation named in front of you. Or drag the sky with your finger, or switch on the camera to see the labels over your real sky.

◆ NARRATED JOURNEYS Short, interactive journeys: Suhail, the star of the caravans; Arab skies and star names; the Moon and its phases; meteors and eclipses; Babylon and ancient Egypt; and a voyage from Earth to the Milky Way.

◆ STAR NAMES WITH A STORY Discover the Arabic origins of names like Aldebaran, Betelgeuse and Rigel, with fine illustrations for 85 constellations.

◆ PLANETS UP CLOSE Zoom into Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Moon in 3D, with distance, phase and rise and set times for your city.
