Sky Safari puts the sky at your fingertips

How I Use It

I generally display this app with a projector on a big screen in a darkened room. I don't often look at particular deep sky or solar system objects, but they are wonderfully rendered. Mainly I use the time-lapse functions to show changes in the sun, moon, and sky over days, months, or years. I'm looking to expand my students spacial intelligence, meaning their ability to mentally visualize and manipulate the space around them. In this case, it is the space around Earth and the motions of our solar system and galaxy that serve to expand all students understanding of Earth and its environment.
