Starry Eyes
The whole sky, wherever you look.
Look in any direction, up, down or around, and Starry Eyes labels the planets, stars and constellations there, even the ones below the horizon. Ask “where is Jupiter?” and an arrow points your head to it. Plane spotting is in development.
What it does
A planetarium, right where you’re looking.
-
The live sky
Stars down to magnitude 5.5, the planets, the Moon, constellation lines and the horizon, all following your head as you look around.
-
Planes overhead In development
Live aircraft labelled where they fly, with airline, route and height. Coming in a later version.
-
Find anything
Say or write a name. It handles misspellings and common names like “north star”, “big dipper” or “the red planet”.
-
Guided to it
An edge arrow and “20° left, 35° up” lead you on. A ring shows when it’s in view, and if it’s below the horizon you’re told when it rises.
-
Ask Meta AI
“Where’s Jupiter?” “What am I looking at?” Voice works through Meta AI, and everything works without it too.
-
Made for the night
Red-only colours after dusk keep your night vision, and it never guides you towards the Sun.
