Star Walk now works with Apple Watch to alert you of upcoming astronomical events.

Star Walk is the most beautiful stargazing app you’ve ever seen on a mobile device. It will become your go-to interactive astro guide to the night sky, following your every movement in real-time and allowing you to explore over 200, 000 celestial bodies with extensive information about stars and constellations that you find.

Get started quickly

• Launch the app and point your iPhone at the night sky, you’ll see the stars, planets, satellites, and constellations in their proper place from your location. As you move your device, the star map updates in real-time. The Moon is the easiest first target.

• Tap the Augmented Reality icon in the upper right corner to add the image from your camera to your sky view.

• Use Night Mode to go easy on your eyes and preserve night vision when exploring the Universe.

Go deeper and beyond

• Every object you tap has an (i) next to its name, tap it to access information.

• A scale on the right is the Time Machine, slide it to explore the map of the night sky of tomorrow or years ago.

• A calendar of celestial events will make sure you never miss anything interesting.

• TelRad will help you find the exact position of an object when stargazing with a telescope.

Share your experience

• Project to a big screen with no picture quality loss. Star Walk is your planetarium.

• Explore stunning space pictures in Picture of the Day.

• There is an entire stargazing Twitter community within Star Walk – don’t miss out!

Duran Duran’s keyboard Nick Rhodes mentions Star Walk as his favorite app:

“With the Star Walk app, if you hold your iPod up towards the sky, you can see all the stars and constellations. It even tells you the names of all the planets. Then, if you point it towards the ground, it shows you what all the stars are in the other hemisphere. It’s brilliant, and if you’re ever somewhere with a clear sky and no light pollution, it’s a revelation. It’s beautifully designed and makes clever use of the available technology. I’m fascinated by astronomy, but even if you’re not, give this a go.”
