Star Walk
Thu, August 25, 2011
When and or if someone ever asks you to show them what an iPhone can do, this is the perfect app to make your case. Its called Star Walk and its pretty dang rad! It allows you to locate and identify 20,000 + objects in the night sky. You can use the 360 degree touch control star map to look at constellations, stars, planets, satellites and galaxies in real time! What?!?!<p> Thats so cool! Lets face it about 99% of us are not going to be taking a trip to outer space anytime soon so why not get as close to what is out there from the comfort of your front or back porch. There is one catch, you have to have a 3GS/4/4th generation iPod Touch for motion tracking but if you dont, fear not. You can still enjoy the app for its interactive star atlas that allows you to set your location manually to give you the most accurate picture.<p>
Here are some of the finer details:<p>
- Augmented Reality for iPhone 4 and 4th gen iPod Touch<p>
- Star Spotter - real time motion tracking tells you what stars are above you in the sky;<p>
- Satellites Tracking - never miss ISS flying over your head again;<p>
- Time Machine - see what the sky looks like at any moment in the past or future;<p>
- Calendar of Celestial Events: plan stargazing without leaving your favorite app.<p>
- Picture of the Day - stunning pictures from deep space;<p>
- Night Mode - preserve your dark vision to see more stars;<p>
- Search - wondering where Jupiter is right now? Arrow will guide you to it;<p>
- Big Screen - connect a second display to view the sky on a big screen.<p>
