Sky Map turns your Android device into a window on the night sky.

Sky Map is a hand-held planetarium for your Android device. Use it to identify stars, planets, nebulae and more. Originally developed as Google Sky Map, it has now been donated and open sourced..

Make sure you haven't switched into manual mode. Does your phone have a compass? If not, Sky Map cannot tell your orientation. Look it up here:

The Map is jittery

Try adjusting the sensor speed and damping (in settings). We have a better solution coming soon!


Do I need an internet connection?

Can I help test the latest features?

Sure! Join our beta testing program and get the latest version.
