Sky Guide, created by Fifth Star Labs, is essentially a one-stop shop for all your skygazing questions. The very simplest of these is probably something to the effect of “What am I looking at right now?” Just train your device on your view, and Sky Guide will identify each element in it, from individual stars to constellations to satellites.
The app also tells you what to keep an eye out for in the coming days and months, including meteor showers, eclipses, and planets in opposition—along with informative descriptions and tips for witnessing each event.
There’s a similar (and similarly highly rated) astronomy app — Star Walk 2 — that is.
