About this app
Overview, features and application details
The famous desktop planetarium, in your pocket. Stellarium Mobile shows exactly what is above you in real time — stars, planets, satellites, and deep-sky objects.
Stellarium started as the open-source planetarium everyone used on their computer, and the mobile version brings the same realism to your phone. Point it at the sky and it renders what is actually up there: stars, constellations, planets in 3D, the Milky Way, and satellites including the ISS — all in real time.
The free version simulates the sky for any date, time, and location, so you can check what was visible on your birthday or plan for next month\u0027s meteor shower. You can browse constellation art from different sky cultures, switch on night mode to keep your eyes adjusted, and watch the landscape, sunrise, and sunset shift with the hour.
Zooming into the Milky Way and deep-sky objects is the wow moment — the renderings are unusually good for a phone app. An optional Stellarium Plus upgrade pushes the catalog from hundreds of thousands of objects to billions of stars and millions of galaxies, and adds telescope control over Wi-Fi.
47 million installs and a 4.8-star rating did not happen by accident. If you only install one astronomy app, this is the one most people should pick.
