Explore the galaxy in a stunning three dimensional map based on
NASA's artistic impression of the Milky Way galactic structure.
Photos are taken by NASA spacecraft and ground based telescopes
like Hubble Space Telescope Chandra X-Ray Herschel Space
Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope.
From the outskirts of the galaxy in the Norma-Outer spiral arm to the galactic center's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* discover a galaxy full of amazing facts.
Ever wondered how far from Earth are the stars you see in the night sky? Or how far or close they are to each other? Now you can visualize those distances in 3D with a star map divided into 10 parsec sectors (cubes) or 32.62 light years for an easier observation. Sector (0 0 0) is our home sector and Sol is the Solar System.
Take a thrilling ride through space and visit strange new alien star systems and black holes. Find out where our Sun - the Solar System - is located in the Milky Way galaxy!
Explore space and get a little closer to our wonderful universe with this awesome astronomy app!
This interactive 3D map is excellent for teachers to use for instruction and it is a great resource for students to explore the Milky Way galaxy and space as they learn more about the universe we live in.
Features
★ Over 3.8 milion stars in the database from the European Space Agency's Hipparcos mission the Gliese catalogue and parts of the ASCC - All Sky Compiled Catalogue
★ Black holes in binary systems
★ Magnetars and neutron stars
★ Search for stars by constellation name catalog or star type (color)
★ Detailed information on every star including its catalog designations the system type (binary ternary quaternary system and so on) distance from the Sun and star radius
Find out how far from Earth are some of the more famous stars out there:
★ Sirius the Dog Star
★ Polaris the North Star
★ Castor a 6-star system
★ Aldebaran Betelgeuse Rigel Vega Eta Carinae Canopus Alpha Centauri Epsilon Eridani Tau Ceti and thousands more!
Compare the radius of stars with our own Sun and find out which are the biggest and smallest stars out there. Can you encounter a sun-like star?
