Sky Guide: the starry sky in your pocket

Recently, in the App Store there are fewer and fewer applications' wow-effect ". But earlier, in 2010, when he appeared iPad, almost every second application excites the mind, bringing a new look at the obvious. It is understandable, today people already difficult to surprise just a good idea, you need to have the idea was worthy of implementation. Today I will tell you about the Sky Guide - an application that combines both a great idea and excellent realization.

Let me explain briefly the basic essence of the application. Open the Sky Guide, and see the space fragment with all visible objects. Werth iPhone or iPad in their hands and the starry sky is moved directly on the screen. When I first saw the like in the Sky Walk two years ago, I was speechless for a few minutes. Now it is not too surprising, but still impresses.

The first Sky Guide is different from its competitors in that it used real pictures of the sky, rather than simulated images. Number of photos just great, they 37000! Here and planets, and constellations, star clusters, planets, satellites of the solar system, in general, all visible from Earth space objects.

And each object has its own description and is not to unconfirmed information from Wikipedia, and real data collected in the application. Unfortunately, all these data are presented in English only, but at the end of each article there is a reference to the same Wikipedia, where in a couple of clicks you can reach the Russian-language version of the page.

The settings include the ability to set any location on Earth. It can be supplied, such as New York and then the program will display the stars as if you really are in New York. Another would like to provide an opportunity to put any time, an hour or a week in advance, and all the objects will be displayed in accordance with this time.

Built-in purchase is only one - the sky move 250 visible objects, and for 66 rubles, you'll not only observe their movements, but also get detailed information about each of them.

More in the application is very cool to do background music that does not distract the attention, but at the same time complements picture, such as tapas to big star will play high-pitched sound, while tapas at a small star, respectively low.

Towards the end I would like to tell us about your own experience with the application: every day before going to bed 15-20 minutes I walk into it, and randomly selects an object, then vychityvaya all information about it, switch to a new one, or simply view stars, constellations, planet. Good dreams are guaranteed after this :)
