About StarScope Space Observatory
StarScope turns your iPhone into a space observation center for watching, listening, and understanding what is happening above us without jumping between apps. OBSERVE LIVE Open a public view of Earth from orbit, listen to Radio JOVE, and take the real Subaru–Asahi/NAOJ camera full screen for focused observation. UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT Check NOAA's planetary Kp index, current conditions at spaceflight locations around the world, and the countdown to the next launch. FOLLOW THE LATEST STORIES A live ticker and a dedicated news section bring together headlines from NASA, ESA, and MIT. Source filters and vertical cards make them efficient to browse on iPhone. BUILT FOR MOBILE • Clear Home, Telescope, News, and Settings navigation. • Spanish and English inside the app. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, dark mode, safe areas, and Reduce Motion. • Progressive updates, timeouts, and a local cache when a source is unavailable. • User-controlled audio and mute changes without reloading the player. CLEAR PRIVACY StarScope requires no account and adds no analytics or tracking of its own. Preferences and caches stay on the device. Video players and links connect directly to their providers, whose policies are explained inside the app. Stream, headline, weather, and launch availability depends on the respective public source.
