More About This Product

Overview

This application is recommended for ages 5+.

Distant Suns (max) astronomy app is an award-winning hand-held planetarium with over 25 years of development, offering you the new way to look at the sky from on the Earth to off. Sporting over 130,000 stars, all 8 (or is it 9?) planets, the sun and moon, constellations, galaxies, nebula and star clusters, Distant Suns offers a gracefully visual respite from a busy day.

While others play games, you can travel to the stars.

With Distant Suns you can:

*Set your location from any place on earth or off
*Change the date and time to show the sky of the past or future, like a celestial time-machine in your hands
*Learn the stories behind each constellation
*See the realistic ghostly band of the Milky Way
*Follow the moon through its phases, and the planets through their monthly dance
*You are no longer Earth-bound so you may fly out to the planets and watch them in their stately presence (something unique to Distant Suns (max))
*Observe Saturn from behind, Jupiter from Io, the Earth from the Moon
*Toggle between a label-rich sky and a serene view of the stars alone

*Contains over 200 galaxies, nebula and star clusters, many within reach of binoculars
*Touch the sky to view extensive data on each object

Perfect for the whole family. The only requirement is sense of wonder!

    Distant Suns App

    The Distant Suns is a great little application. It provides a star map on the color reader that is easy and convenient. The color reader is easier to carry than a laptop computer. The reader has a glow so that a light is not needed to see the star map. The application does not have as much information as found on computer programs.
