SkySafari for Android - Screen Shots

This page contains screen shots of the basic version of SkySafari for Android. This version shows you 46,000 stars, plus 220 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky. It displays the Solar System's major planets and moons using NASA spacecraft imagery, and includes the best-known asteroids and comets. It lets you find objects in the sky using your Android's built-in compass and accelerometer, and identify stars and planets by holding your phone up to them.

SkySafari accurately shows you the sky from any place on Earth, at any time up to one hundred years in the past or future. It includes encyclopedic descriptions of the constellations, stars, and planets written by professional astronomers. And it contains hundreds of images from NASA space missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the world's foremost astro-photographers.

These screen shots were generated on a Verizon Morotola Droid 2 Global and a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Due to variations among Android devices, SkySafari's exact appearance may differ slightly on your tablet or phone. You can click on any of the "postcard" images below to view a full-sized image.
