Skylore: Star Map & Night Sky

Hold your phone up and learn the name of every star, planet and constellation. 2 million real stars, tonight's sky, live.

Hold your phone up to the night sky: Skylore shows the sky above you, live, and names every star, planet and constellation.

POINT AND KNOW • The map turns wherever you point your phone, over the live camera picture if you like. • Tap a star for its name, distance, colour, brightness and story. • Search for Saturn, Vega or the Andromeda Galaxy and see where it is, even below the horizon.

A REAL SKY • 2 million real stars; the faint ones appear as you zoom in. • 600 nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, each with its own drawing. • A hand-made Milky Way with its star clouds and dust lanes. • Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, the face of Mars and the craters of the Moon, as they are tonight.

CONSTELLATIONS AND THEIR MYTHS • 88 constellations with their mythological figures drawn in gold. • Orion, Scorpius, Cygnus, Andromeda… and the stories behind them.

WHAT'S UP TONIGHT? • Sunset, the hours of full darkness and the phase of the Moon. • The night's finest sights, eclipses, meteor showers and the chance of an aurora. • Visible passes of the International Space Station; add a reminder to your calendar.

EXPLORE • Star trails: watch the sky turn around the Pole Star like a long exposure, and share it. • Time machine: travel thousands of years back or ahead and watch the pole star change. • The invisible sky: see the Milky Way in infrared, radio, X-rays and gamma rays. • A sky card of the night you were born, a guided sky tour, a constellation game and badges. • Fly the space shuttle to the planets.

MADE FOR THE NIGHT • Night mode turns the sky red so your eyes stay used to the dark. • Works offline: stars, planets and sky events are calculated on your phone. • No account, no ads, no personal data collected. • 10 languages.

Look up tonight. The sky is waiting.
