Sky Live: Heavens Above Viewer
Sky Live is an app designed for astronomers and night sky photographers to plan star observations and capture stunning photos of the night sky. This app provides users with all the necessary information in one place, including the planets, bright stars, and constellations that will be visible above the horizon at night, the current weather conditions, the visibility score, and more. After setting the location, users can check the stargazing index for the entire week ahead to determine the best time for a night out.
The unique stargazing index is calculated hourly and takes into account various criteria such as weather forecast, light pollution, visible objects, and the brightness of the moon. By pairing with Star Walk 2, users can also see the chosen object in the sky and access more information about its path through the night sky. Additionally, the app has an Apple Watch extension that provides alerts for upcoming astronomical events and updates on the current sky conditions over the user's location.
According to Nathan Snelgrove from AppStorm.net, Sky Live is the app that stargazers have always needed to determine the visibility of the stars and the best times to observe constellations and planets. Along with providing accurate hourly conditions for stargazing, the app also offers detailed reports on the position and trajectory of the International Space Station, the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, and other planets. With its stunning space photos and comprehensive information on stargazing conditions, Sky Live is sure to spark curiosity in both stargazers and non-stargazers alike.
