Sky Map Mobile Planetarium for Android
Back from my blogging hiatus/vacation I found this interesting article on the Sky Map app for Android. Sky Map is a free app, which lets users virtually browse the sky by pointing their Google phone towards the sky. The app uses the GPS functionality, the accelerometer and the compass of the GPhone to “know” in which direction you are pointing. If some of you, like me, have forgotten what exactly the “big dipper” is or simply want to show your students a more interesting way to learn about astronomy, this is certainly an interesting app.
