Tonight
Worked out for your place and date. Tap “Show me” and the map turns to it.
Real sky photo
Tap “Real” to see a real photo of the Milky Way in place of the drawn sky. Tap any planet, star or galaxy for its photo.
Find anything
Search for a planet, a star, a constellation or a galaxy. If it is below the horizon, an arrow shows the way and the map tells you when it rises.
Travel in time
Slide the time bar or press play to watch the night turn. Use the arrows to jump a day.
Keep your night vision
The red eye button turns the page red. Red light does not undo the dark-adaptation of your eyes the way white light does.
Keep Sky+ free
Sky+ is free for everyone, with no sign-up. Subscribing to NO GROUND on Facebook helps keep it that way.
