While you are hunkering down on those tasty smores…I thought I would give you an idea to look up into that beautiful summer sky. These apps are perfect for summer star gazing…you may actually teach the kiddos a thing or two;)
Found this on DigitalTrends:
Android users are lucky, because the free Sky Map app is really excellent. You can find the positions of the stars and planets by holding your smartphone up to the sky. You’ll also see the constellations marked, and you can even time travel to see the difference in years gone by.
You don’t need to worry if you’re using iOS, because Star Walk ($3) is pretty special. It marks stars, planets, satellites, and constellations, along with a night mode that’s easy on the eyes, and a time machine function to see what the sky used to look like. You’ll also find a community of star gazers, info on celestial events, and some stunning photos in this app.
Go find the Big Dipper :)
