See store links above for current prices.Stellarium Mobile Sky Map is a planetarium app that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. Unlike the desktop version, Stellarium Mobile is not free. There is also the advantage of having a similar interface to the desktop version, making it easy to go from one to the other. Of course no app has all the features you could ever want, and Stellarium does a very good job of getting the basics right. The competition is much more fierce in mobile astronomy and you'll find many other apps that have features missing from Stellarium. However it's not really the clear winner in the mobile market that it is on the desktop. If you're looking for a mobile app, Stellarium is a great option. Since it's free, you really can't go wrong-just go to the website now and download it (see link above).

We use it at the space centre for our "Night Sky Viewer" interactive display. It's very popular in the astronomical community. However it's much more than a simple star chart-it's a serious astronomy tool rich with viewing options and information about celestial objects. If you're looking for a simple-to-use guide to what's in the night sky, this is it. On the home desktop, I think Stellarium is probably the best all-round planetarium-style astronomy software available.
