Stellarium Stellarium App
Stellarium for iOS and Android

The night sky, in your pocket

Identify

Hold it up. That bright dot has a name.

The app follows your phone's sensors, so the screen shows exactly the patch of sky you are pointing at, with the horizon, the atmosphere and the glow of dawn or dusk drawn as they are right now.

  • The sky at any time and any place on Earth
  • Constellations with their figures and stories from sky cultures around the world
  • A realistic landscape and atmosphere, sunrise to sunset, with refraction simulated
  • A red night mode that keeps your eyes dark-adapted

Explore

Zoom until the rings of Saturn fill the screen

High-resolution imagery of the planets and their moons, a full-sky survey behind the stars, and deep-sky objects from a combined catalogue of millions of nebulae and galaxies. Online, the whole Gaia catalogue streams in as you zoom; offline, a built-in catalogue still comes with you.

  • The Moon and the planets with multi-resolution surface imaging
  • The International Space Station and most visible satellites, with their passes
  • All known comets and thousands of minor bodies
Saturn, its rings and its moons in 3D
Jupiter with Io, Europa and Callisto, and a moon's shadow on the clouds
Observe, with Stellarium Plus

Plan the night, then drive the telescope

Stellarium Plus is the upgrade for people who take their observing seriously. It turns the app into an observation planner and a telescope controller, in the same interface.

  • Tonight at a glance: rise and set times, what is visible when, and the satellite passes
  • A calendar of upcoming astronomical events
  • Light pollution simulated for your site
  • Ocular and camera simulation: see an object the way your own instrument will show it
  • Telescope control: point any connected mount at the object on the screen
The Observe screen: sunset and sunrise, visibility bars of the planets tonight and the satellite passes

Free and Plus

One app. Upgrade when you want more.

Stellarium Mobile is free, with no ads and no account required. Stellarium Plus is unlocked inside the app, as a subscription with a free trial or as a one-time purchase.
