Our Galaxy is a unique app for both amateur astronomers and astronomy educators. It helps you visualize the 3-dimensional locations of deep sky objects in and around our galaxy, and provides you with an understanding of their physical properties. It addition, it illustrates the structural components of the Galaxy, including the thin disk, thick disk, galactic bulge and stellar halo.
The 3-D interface allows you to see where the cluster or nebula of interest is located relative to the center and plane of the Galaxy. By panning around, or moving closer to or farther away from the object, you derive a sense of where the object really is in 3-dimensional space.
The app enhances the observing experience by helping the user arrive at an intuitive sense of physical location, size, luminosity, and distance for the chosen object. It also serves as a great tool for education and outreach with its unusual visual perspective on the location of deep sky objects and their relationship to the center and plane of our galaxy.

Edtyyyy is going back home with a friend and then we can meet him at home
Not good, really does nothing
Shows the rings and rocks or something you can zoom in zoom out wopwop
And there are not many reviews look for your self
Trash, completely garbage
Can barely even explore any objects, and can’t see 3D models. Not good, trash 💀💀💀
This is where you are in the galaxy
Such a perfectly needed and simple application, tells you exactly where you are in the universe. What more could you want?
Really great app for exploring the Galaxy
Navigation is a little clunky, but the detail is amazing!
Epic
I like it. It helps to see the big picture of our galaxy and beyond. Very good. Maybe small improvements could be made.
Eye opening
Others have said enough. This is an educational mindfulness spinner toy. UI is superb, help files are extensive. Everyone should own this.
I like it
Nice app that shows stuff in perspective. I wish it had an option to switch to Night Sky view tied to geo coordinates like other stargazing apps for star hoping and DSOs search during observation sessions. Then it would be all in one. Otherwise, I have to jump between different apps.
Informative
Fantastic app. Seeing our solar system in relation to our galaxy and the deep space objects puts a whole new perspective on astronomy. Well done!!!
We Need Good Astronomy Apps
This one delivers and it's free! You can use this app to get a good representation of our galaxy's size and structure. It's a good visual aid and accurate modelling.
