iPhone

Most iPhone users probably have a calendar to help them keep track of what is happening here on Earth. But astronomy fans of any level can now be informed of what’s happening in the stars with the new Solaris Sky Calendar.

A calendar of the skies. Thanks to your iPhone’s GPS, the app can show you celestial events that will happen at your specific location. You can also read about when to observe and if you’ll need a telescope or binoculars. The app will also show you more information about the specific phenomenon.

Complete control. In the app’s settings, you can select exactly what event’s you’d like to be notified about - everything from a spacecraft event to a solar eclipse.

What is it about?

As the name suggests, it will notify you when a specified astronomical event happens at your location. It’s dark theme is perfect late night viewing sessions. As a cool touch, there are a number of Easter Eggs and hidden gems that can unlock additional functionality.

For those who...

Anyone who enjoys astronomy
no matter whether you're a beginner or expert. Want to be notified when certain celestial events occur.

Not for those who...

Don't like astronomy. Looking for a more full-featured astronomy app.

Why we love it

We really enjoyed getting to use the app, and even if you’re the least bit interested in astronomy, definitely check it out. While it’s not as wide ranging as other astronomy apps, it does a great job focusing on the celestial events you can view at your location. While we don’t get to do much stargazing in a big city, I’m looking forward to trying it in a more hospitable location soon.
