Star-Apps
As soon as it gets dark, a magical world appears in the air. On a clear night you can see thousands of stars in the sky, but are you also aware of what you see? You will undoubtedly recognize the moon and polar star and with any knowledge also different constellations, but have you ever consciously seen Jupiter, Venus or Mars? With these apps you can scour the air and discover special phenomena.
Sky guide
One of the best known and perhaps most popular stargazing apps is undoubtedly Sky Guide. This astronomical app helps users explore and understand the night sky. With the help of augmented reality, the app can identify and label the stars, planets and celestial bodies in real time when you point your iPhone to heaven.
The app offers detailed information about astronomical objects, including their history and scientific data. Users can make notifications for important celestial phenomena such as the ISS that passes by, meteor swarms or solar eclipses. The apps are available on many platforms including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Unfortunately, the application is not available in Dutch, but in 10 other languages.
