About
Sky Live is an essential app for planning sky observations and making gorgeous photos of the starry night sky. Many astronomers and outdoor photographers worldwide have chosen this great tool to help them in planning their nights out for watching the sky and celestial objects. In Sky Live, you’ll find stunning space photos combined with everything you need to know about stargazing conditions for your location tonight. Stargazer or not — this app will spark your curiosity!
Take advantage of Sky Live
- All necessary info is available at once: what planets, bright stars, and constellations will be above the horizon at night, what the weather is like, what the visibility score is, and much more.
- Set the location and check the stargazing index for the whole week ahead and learn the best time for the night out.
- The unique index for stargazing conditions is calculated hourly and renews each time you start the app. The index depends on weather forecast, light pollution, visible objects, and the moonlight and can vary from poor to great; the closer to 100%, the better.
- You will also get detailed reports on the position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets.
- The Sky Live app works in pair with Star Walk 2: you can see the chosen object in the sky and get more info about its path through the night sky.
- Sky Live also has an Apple Watch extension to alert you of upcoming astronomical events and tell you what’s going on in the sky above you at the moment, for example, ISS flyby or bright Iridium flare.
Highlights
Reviews
Sky Live is the latest app from Vito Technology, the people who gave us the highly praised Star Walk app. The app is a good idea, and the design is beautiful. The text looks great against a striking nebula or galaxy photo that changes frequently. The developers told me it is based on the Yahoo Weather app design, and that's a good design to emulate.
At the very least, it's a great way to introduce friends and family to the night sky. The app provides a way to show them a thing or two about the sky above while giving them a resource to help them gauge whether or not stargazing is possible on any given evening. This app and others like it are a powerful educational and inspirational tool that can really open up a whole new world for most people.
With this app, we will never run into surprises when planning an outing to observe stars, planets, satellites, nebulae, etc. Sky Live makes it possible to accurately forecast when we can enjoy a good night for stargazing.
I lead Astronomy and Cosmology study groups as an employee of Oakland Community College and stargaze on my own time as well. I use Sky Live when planning stargazing sessions and when aiding students in learning the night sky. I have used at least 20 different apps over the last 4 years, but Sky Live is the ONLY stargazing app that resides at the ready on my iPhone's first screen.
