Star Walk 2

Star Walk 2 helps you learn the names of the stars and the constellations you can spot in the night sky. It provides a detailed sky guide so you can explore confidently and start recognizing what you’re looking at.

To align the sky map correctly, use the app’s guidance by matching the current position of the Sun or Moon with what you see in your real environment. Once aligned, you can locate the stars, satellites, and comets above you.

The app also includes a compass to show where north is—handy for pinpointing where the Sun set, especially on nights when you can’t see the Moon. A built-in clock displays the current time for your exact location, and the sky map is visible at night so everything becomes easier to understand in context.
