These days, it seems there is nothing you can’t do on an iPhone. Whether you want to use your phone as a GPS or just an education tool, you can do it all on iPhone. And thanks to the talented community of iPhone developers, you can now use your phone to navigate the skies right on your phone. Whether you want to know more about the stars or just want to find Pluto, it’s all possible on your phone.
So let me share with you all today, the 5 rated Astronomy Apps for your Iphone:
1) StarMap: StarMap is one of the best astronomy applications for iPhone. It can help you navigate the space and find new objects to observe fast. Hundreds of thousands of stars are available in its database.
