One of the coolest features of Star Chart is its voice command functionality. You can simply say, “Look at Andromeda” or “Fly me to the Moon,” and the app will take you there virtually. It also offers a Time Shift feature, allowing you to explore the skies as they appeared 10,000 years in the past or as they will appear in the future.
With Star Chart, you can tap on any celestial object to learn more about it, zoom in on stunning 3D renderings of stars and planets, and even set your location to see what the night sky looks like from different parts of the world.
Light Pollution
For optimal stargazing, it’s important to be aware of light pollution and moon phases. Even if you find a location away from city lights, the brightness of the moon can interfere with your view of the stars. The best time to stargaze is during the waning crescent phase when the moonlight is dim, allowing for clearer views of the night sky.
