As much as we see it on a daily basis, the sky and its contents are a huge unknown for most of us. If you already know a lot about the planet we live on thanks to applications like Google Earth or Fotopedia, you just have to go out to the conquest of outer space. With Night Sky, you will never again have to wonder what you are seeing when you look at the stars.
The best thing about Night Sky is that it is not limited to showing you photographs taken from other points, but it allows you through the camera of your device investigate the views you have from where you are at all times. You just have to point to the sky and the application reveals the constellations, and the names of the stars and planets that are above you. Since it works crossing the data provided by the GPS and the compass integrated into the iPad, and the sky maps, the effect can be produced equally even if it's daytime or it's cloudy (Or, unfortunately, even if you live in a big city where lighting and pollution make it difficult to see the stars). However, the "magic" of the application is most enjoyed at night and if you can first glimpse the stars with the naked eye.
Night Sky is not the only application to navigate between stars. Other recommended applications are Star walk y Pocket universe, of great quality too. But, in addition to being the most popular and downloaded of them (and despite its high number of users, one of which maintains a better average rating), right now you can buy it at a really affordable price (€ 0,79) , while others can cost up to around € 5 (Star Walk, for example, now costs € 3,99 on iTunes). One last advantage is that it is a universal application, so that by paying only once you can enjoy it both on iPad and iPhone, although in the first one you can enjoy it in all its fullness thanks to the larger screen size and the quality of the image.
