Star Walk 2 - Night Sky Map

<b>Star Walk 2</b> is an exquisite <b>sky map</b> that combines astronomical data with premium technology to deliver an effortless journey through thousands of stars, comets, constellations, satellites, dwarf planets, moons, meteor showers, asteroids, deep sky objects, nebulae and galaxies. All you have to do is <b>point your device at the sky</b> and the star map will get aligned with what you have in the night sky above you.*

<i>*This feature is available only on devices with digital compass.</i>

<b>Incredible 3D models of celestial bodies: </b>

- Planetary nebulae

- Constellations

- Dwarf planets, comets, and asteroids

- Man-made satellites

- Layer by layer planets and missions

<b><u>DISCOVER NEW DEPTHS</u></b>

Star Walk 2 is <b>the first astronomy guide</b> to introduce plausible <b>three-dimensional models of planetary nebulae</b>. Star groupings of the <b>88 officially recognized constellations</b> are also presented in volume. You can see them as separate entities, turn them around and take a look from the other side. Complemented by articles on connected myths and history, this is the most comprehensive collection of information on constellations.

<b><u>REAL-TIME MOTION TRACKING</u></b>

As you hold your phone up and <b>point your phone towards the sky</b>, Star Walk 2 follows your motions using the built-in digital compass to match the map on your screen to the stars seen from your location. Easily <b>find any star, constellation, or satellite in the sky</b> by tapping Search. Star Walk will guide you by indicating the direction to look at.

<b><u>NOW AND LATER</u></b>

Star Walk 2 gives you accurate daily data on <b>current moon phase</b>, time of sunset and sunrise, and elevation of planets. With just one slide you can see how the sky will look later tonight or throughout the year.

<b><u>PRO STARGAZING GUIDE</u></b>

Special night-time soft red mode will help you preserve night vision when stargazing with a telescope. You can see the sky in X-Ray (and 5 more filters) to study the invisible structure of the universe. Live tracking for <b>over 8,000 satellites</b> will help you catch iridium flares.

<i>***Note***

- The Star Spotter feature won't work for the devices that are not equipped with the gyroscope and compass.

- For Android 4.4 KitKat users: the application doesn't support ART, please switch to Dalvik.</br></br></i>
