Summary
SkyView® Lite is a stargazing app that uses augmented reality to identify objects in the sky. Pointing a device's camera skyward reveals stars, constellations, galaxies, planets and satellites, including the ISS and Hubble, day or night. Sky Paths let users follow the daily movements of the Sun and Moon and see their exact positions for any date and time, while a time travel feature allows jumping to the sky as it appeared or will appear on other dates. Reminders can be set for celestial events. The app works without WiFi, data signal or GPS, making it usable while camping, boating or flying. A full version, SkyView, offers additional objects and features.
