For the month of August, I am participating in the 30-Day Phone Apps Coach4adayChallenge. Today the focus is on star gazing app called STAR WALK

The goal each day is to explore a different application each month that I could use or experiment with on my iPhone or desktop.

August 10th-Star Walk 2-Star Gazing App

First thing you need to know is there is a free and paid version Star Walk. The free version does feature ads.

Star Walk 2 stands as a star guide, sky map, and nocturnal sky reference application leveraging augmented reality (AR) to ensure its usability is both effortless and enlightening for astronomers spanning all proficiency levels.

How it works

Point your phone up to see which stars, planets, and constellations are floating above you. When you tap a star that is on your IPhone screen, you can read up on more details.

It also has a a feature that tells you when the sun and moon will rise and set in your area.
