This is the coolest thing I've put on my phone since gstrings! I know a lot of you guys are into astronomy, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has discovered this...

Thanks for the heads up.

Whenever I get some time, I'm going to find my old telescope and try the "indirect mode" for locating stars.

Wish I would've had it when I was very serious into astronomy. Instead, I ingrained night skies into my head, so a lot of the major stuff is right in my head. The obscure stuff is cool to have though. But, looking at a bright phone screen when doing viewing isn't very helpful. Even at the dimmest setting, I still notice that my eyes need a few minutes to adjust to the full darkness and get to see all the stars again. |

Best Astronomy app for the ipad out there, and ive been through them all! The regular photo updates are a must-see. The interface, graphics and smoothness are just joyous.  |

Seeing "through" the earth" was an absolute trip. First time I'd ever seen the Southern Cross...it made me understand now why I came that way. 
When I get my hands on a Galaxy Nexus (my first Android phone), that'll be one of the first apps I get. |
