Try my new stargazing web app: Star Atlas

[neave]

Hi stargazers,

I'd like to show you my new free interactive stargazing map, called Star Atlas:

StarAtlas.com

It’s a fully interactive map of the night sky on the web. You can explore over 60,000 stars, find planets, watch solar eclipses, fast-forward time, and lots more. It works on mobile too – you can ‘add to homescreen’ to create an app, and it can use the compass to show the sky as you move your device about.

It's missing a few features right now (such as DSOs) but it's still very new and I hope to add many more features in the future. Please check it out – I'd love to know what you think.

Here are some example solar eclipses:

• August 2017 total solar eclipse, viewed from the US
• Annular solar eclipse due October 2024, viewed from Chile
• August 1999 solar eclipse, viewed from Cornwall, England

Enjoy!
Paul

Very nicely done indeed. Added to my home screen, thanks!

Do plan to add DSOs to the atlas?

Very good. Works well on my tablet with Chrome. Clever clever ?
