10 iOS-applications for space exploration

I had never been in space observatory, however, have the opportunity to watch the starry sky in all its details. I watched a few times in a powerful telescope, however, I can see the stars through the smartphone screen and read all the information about them. Yes, to name a full replacement applications observatories and telescopes difficult, but in the absence of another - and why not? We chose 10 applications for the iOS, space-related subjects.

NASA

Of course, in the first place will be an official NASA app. All photos, videos, news, stories, and information about upcoming flights appears primarily on the official website here. The annex about 14,000 smart pictures and rare historical videos.

Exoplanet

Exoplanet - is an application for keeping track of all known exoplanets humanity. Exoplanets, in turn - it is a planet located beyond our solar system. planets library is updated every time scientists find new exoplanets.

Pocket Universe

If Exoplanet - is a point application, Pocket Universe allows you to observe all celestial objects, ranging from planets and ending with neighboring galaxies. As a bonus, in the Pocket Universe have tests on the knowledge of the cosmos.

Moon Globe

The slogan on the App Store page «Hold the Moon in your hands" sounds too challenging, but in general it is truthful. Moon Globe contains comprehensive information about the Earth's satellite. Craters, space missions and a map of the moon landings - all for free.

Star Walk HD

One of the applications of space that ficherilos several times in the App Store. Star Walk - a map of the sky, which you can explore the guiding iPad camera in different directions.

Journey to Exoplanets

Elegant application in which you as a spacecraft pilot explore exoplanets. The application also provides information about the planets themselves and of those who opened them.

The application is available only in the US App Store.

NASA Earth as Art

Another free, but no less exciting app from NASA. The land here is shown in the form of pictures of the cosmos, and it really looks like a real art.

NASA Visualization Explorer

I would not want to make this collection a tribute to NASA respect, so Visualization Explorer is the latest application from NASA. It is a visual guide that contains a lot of information about our planet, the solar system and galaxies.

Star Chart

Fantastically beautiful app for the study of the stars and constellations. The app uses GPS to animated image of the sky. Star Chart has not been updated for quite some time, but the good news is that with the latest update of the app was free.

FTL: Faster Than Light

I did not want to make of this collection a list of space games and simulations, so we decided to leave for just one game last place. FTL - this is one of the most complex and detailed of space simulators. Where you can recruit a team, improve and change ships, as well as, of course, explore space. The game deserves your money 100%.
