I downloaded countless astronomy apps in hopes of birthing an interest of astronomy in my children , ages five and 12.
We have opened this app almost every day and night since the first time we used it.
I was amazed to find out that what I thought were stars , that I had been looking at all of these years ,were in fact planets !!it is amazing to see how many planets are actually available to the naked eye
On any given night!!
thanks to this app, I now know which entities are stars amd which are planets . not to mention all of the constellations that we have learned.
I love that you can snap pictures on the app when you find these amazing constellations, planets, etc.
I also love how you can see what stars and planets are on the opposite side of earths when the phone is pointed downward.
My five-year-old now has a very good grasp of the rotation of our solar system due to this app
she now understands why it is dark twhen her father is in Russia and daytime here . We pointed The phone downward and she noticed that it was dark here , but, the app was showing the sun on the other side
Of earth
she said mommy its daytime over there where Russia is
This is my favorite app that I have open to date and I have opened many. I have shared this app with countless individuals and they all love it just as much as I do
Hats off to the creators of this app
its truly amazing and informative
from an educators point of view, it is a wonderful tool to use with children of all ages, as it helps them grasp many many aspects of our solar system
It also seems extremely easy to navigate
Sincerely,
