The Night Sky is a magical app that enables you to identify stars, planets, galaxies, constellations and even satellites. This Mac version of The Night Sky enables you to view the stars, planets, galaxies, constellations and satellites from any location in the world no matter where you are located yourself!
Here's an example - you are in Los Angeles but want to know what The Night Sky in Australia looks like. No problem with The Night Sky, just position the globe over Australia, flick to star view and view the Australian sky! This will work anywhere in the world.
The Night Sky does this by using its high resolution map of the sky and location data that you provide. It then places you in a 3D sphere and allows you to look around it's totally accurate virtual Night Sky!
This special Mac edition for OS X Lion allows you to make The Night Sky expand to full screen. A great new feature as everything gets out of the way so it's just you and the sky!
So if you want to gaze up at the sky no matter where you are in the world, just load up The Night Sky on your Mac and prepare to be amazed!
The Night Sky really is simply magical!
v1.2 [Jun 7, 2012]
- Sky Information Pack - the Sky Information Pack is a fantastic new feature that is jammed packed full of information about the objects you can see in The Night Sky. Want to know more about a satellite, constellation, star or planet? Well just click the object and get all the data on the object you will ever need!
- Red Night Visibility Mode - Click the 'eye' icon in the top right hand corner of The Night Sky for the whole screen to go red. This makes it easier to view the sky if you are using The Night Sky at night outside on a laptop for instance. We recommend using full screen mode if you enable this feature.
- Accuracy Improvements - The Night Sky is now even more accurate.
- Hubble Space Telescope - The Hubble Space Telescope is now easier to see when enabling satellite mode as it is identified with a red symbol and text.
