A Cool Space App
To begin with, I do not own a smart phone. So I do not use any apps to speak of and I am far from an expert on this subject. However, AccuWeather facebook astronomy member James Bullinger pointed this out to me.
This is a review from Lovely County Citizen:
“In the realm of space, the sky is the limit. I suggest Star Walk by Vito Technology Inc. for identifying your nighttime sky view. With the extraordinary iPad app Solar System by Marcus Chown, I learned more about the solar system in one hour than I ever knew. Other space apps I love and use include SoLuna, Deluxe Moon, Planets, Moon HD, and to see daily activity from the SOHO/NASA website I use RealSun which gives me about an 8-hour heads-ups of the arrival to Earth's atmosphere of coronal mass ejections (solar flares). I want to know when the "big one" hits and it will. When that happens there is the potential to fry every microchip on the planet, and of course, all of our devices will be useless.”
Maybe followers who are more experienced can recommend what apps they have and use and feel are the best.
