Today I’m here to tell you about an app that lets you explore and learn about all the things you can see in the night sky.
SkyView Lite is an app that shows you the stars, constellations, satellites and galaxies in the night sky. When you point your device at the sky, it tells you what is in space above you. You can even jump to dates in the past or future to see what the stars are like on different days and times.
You can download it for free from the App Store here.
