Check out the more than 6,000 deep sky objects that provide you with details such as its size and how far from earth it's located.

There are a couple of modes of use which are the 3D mode and the Planetarium Mode. Planetarium Mode is used to check out the celestial sphere or to view objects that you can see. The time and date can be adjusted and you can bookmark items.

What I enjoy is just how easy this app is to use. There is enough information to keep advanced astronomers happy yet the app is user-friendly and presented in a way in which beginners can fully understand and appreciate the information.

It manages to strike that perfect balance between the two. The graphics are truly outstanding as well and in an app like this you need to have good graphics to be successful.
