Stellarium Plus

Stellarium Plus Stellarium Plus is a real-time planetarium app for Android. Point your phone to see stars, constellations, planets and deep-sky objects, with rich info, 3D models, and tools for observing.

Stellarium Plus – Star Map

Stellarium Plus – Star Map is a feature-rich planetarium app that shows the real night sky in real time. Point your phone upward to quickly spot stars, constellations, planets, and many other celestial objects.

Designed with a friendly interface for users of all ages, this upgraded edition is also built for serious astronomy lovers. It includes a vast library with 2+ million deep-sky objects and tools for telescope control. You can try out different sky conditions, browse 3D planet models, and get ready for upcoming observing sessions—making it a go-to app for anyone who enjoys the stars.

Key Features

• Stunning Visuals: See distinctive stars, planets, constellations, satellites, and comets with realistic, high-impact graphics.
• Detailed Object Info: Tap any object to view the information you need—this app goes beyond visuals to explain what you’re looking at.
• Constellation Analysis: Study star patterns more closely and learn how groups of stars form recognizable shapes. You may encounter nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.
• High-Resolution Rendering: Enjoy an authentic, crisp view of space whether you’re using a phone or a tablet.

Advanced Observing Tools

Whether the sky is sparse or packed with bright points, the app helps you make sense of what you see. Use constellation recognition to understand which stars come together to form a constellation. From a normal viewpoint, it can be hard to grasp the overall shape—inside the app, those patterns become much clearer.

Telescope Control (Easy Setup)

• Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi support: Many devices are compatible for smoother operation.



• Works with multiple brands: Support includes NexStar and SynScan (and they connect reliably with the app).

Adjust the View for the Right Time

Because the appearance of the sky changes with the seasons, you can set the exact time to match what you want to observe.

A Massive Library of Astronomical Content

Discover a huge amount of astronomy data presented in a visually impressive way:

• Beautiful star, planet, and nebula visuals with sharp image quality.



• Large, scientifically recognized catalogs.
• Add sky overlays such as equatorial and meridian guides, or view the constellation outlines.
• Night mode: Helps protect your eyes while observing after dark.
• Displays can change based on the sky conditions and the object information you’re viewing.

Highlights

• Accurate night-sky simulation for dates, times, and locations.
• Dive into deep-sky collections: stars, nebulae, galaxies, star clusters, and more.
• All known stars: Gaia DR2 catalog with over 1.69 billion stars.
• All known planets, natural satellites, comets, plus many minor solar system objects (10k asteroids).
• Most known deep-sky objects: a combined catalog with over 2 million nebulae and galaxies.
• Near-limitless zoom on Milky Way, deep-sky objects, and planetary surfaces.
• Explore how people in different regions see the stars by switching constellation shapes and illustrations for various sky cultures.
• Track artificial satellites, including the International Space Station.
• Simulate realistic atmosphere effects such as sunrise, sunset, and atmospheric refraction.



• View 3D models of major solar system planets and their moons.
• Use red night mode to help preserve dark-adapted vision.
• Offline observing: even without internet, you can use a lighter dataset—about 2 million stars, 2 million deep-sky objects, and 10k asteroids.
• Telescope control via Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi: drive any GOTO telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan, or LX200 protocols.
• Use advanced tools to plan sessions by estimating observability and transit times.

Final Thoughts

Stellarium Plus is a great choice for everyone—from kids to experienced stargazers. It delivers a highly realistic view of astronomy, covering everything from stars and asteroids to main planets, constellations, satellites, and many other objects in the sky. Observe from wherever you are and enjoy a clearer, more guided way to explore the universe.
