Distant Suns: Astronomy for the iPhone

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 – running time 05:54

Ever look at the night sky and wonder just what it was you were looking at? Distant Suns puts a star map and astronomy guide in your pocket!

Where's that constellation? Is that Venus or Mars? Does that star have a name? Distant Suns started on the Amiga in 1987, in 2009 it's a star map and astronomy tutor in your pocket!

130,000 stars along with planets, nebulae, galaxies and all 88 constellations... plus it's compass aware for the 3gs owners... just turn and look!
