About Velastar - Toward the stars

Velastar is an immersive stargazing and sky exploration app for iPhone and iPad. Using your observing location, date and time, and device orientation, Velastar calculates the sky above you in real time. Raise your device to identify stars, constellations, planets, the Sun, and the Moon—or travel across time and experience the sky from Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Europa.
