★ Discover how people living in other regions of the planet see the stars by selecting the shapes and illustrations of the constellations for many sky cultures.
★ Track artificial satellites, including the International Space Station.
★ Zoom on realistic Milky Way and Deep Sky Objects images.
★ Simulate landscape and atmosphere with realistic sunrise, sunset and atmosphere refraction.
★ Discover 3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their satellites.
★ Observe the sky in night mode (red) to preserve your eyes adaptation to darkness.
Stellarium Mobile FREE contains in-app purchases allowing to upgrade to Stellarium Mobile PLUS. With this upgrade, the app will display objects as faint as magnitude 22 (versus magnitude 8 in the FREE version) and enable advanced observing features.
