SkyView Free is powerful, easy-to-use, and answers these questions and more. Simply point the camera to the sky, tap on what you see and discover neat things about these sky objects.

SkyView Free FEATURES (check out SkyView Premium for even more amazing features):
* Innovative New iPad Interface *
SkyView Free’s new iPad interface minimizes hand movement, making it easy to hold and point your iPad toward the sky whether you're sitting, standing, or even lying down. Simply hover over an object in the sky with the reticle (the small white circle in the center of the display) and press the target button near your right thumb to select it (we support left-handed mode also!).
* Share the Universe with Your Friends and Family *
Now when you see something exciting you can quickly take a snapshot of the universe and send it to others on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and more.
* Sky Paths *
Select the Sun or Moon and see its path through the sky for a 24-hour period. Move the camera along this path and see
when and where this object will be.
* Change the Date and Time *
Travel to the future or the past and see the sky on different dates and times!
* Amazing 3D Graphics *
Surround yourself with beautiful 3D graphics of the Sun, Moon, stars, constellations, Hubble Space Telescope, and the International Space Station as you point the camera to the sky.
* Stars and Constellations *
Stargazing has never been so easy! Just aim and tap the screen to identify hundreds of stars! Find your favorite constellations as they fade in and out of the camera view.
* Satellites *
View Hubble and the International Space Station! SkyView Free automatically retrieves current satellite orbital data (when available) so that your satellite viewing remains as accurate as possible!
* Search and Locate *
Looking for the ISS? Trying to find the North Star or the Moon? Use the search feature to select an interesting object and then simply follow the arrow to find its location in the sky.
* Lots of Interesting Facts *
SkyView Free has thousands of fun facts about our universe -- touch an object in the sky and discover!
* Augmented Reality (AR) *
SkyView Free accurately blends and animates 3D images of objects in the sky within the camera’s view no matter what direction you are pointing.
