Description

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.

Not good, really does nothing

wondaring on

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

SpaceBoi10 on

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.

Amazing

Wonderful app that provides a perspective that is totally different than “looking out” from our small perch on the earth. Go ahead and jump all the way out of the Milky Way and look back for a change. Wow! It is beyond my understanding how anyone can calculate the position of what we see as unmoving points and smudges of light in the night sky. But here it is. The detail is highest closest to the Sun, demonstrating limits to our vision, but we also see galaxies individually and as groups far away. The app is new to me and I am totally blown away.
