No, I’m not talking about Doctor Who or Marty McFly, but the app can show you an animated simulation of how celestial contents moved as you “travel” back through time. The coolest feature of Sky Safari is one that’s more fun than function: time travel. You can learn more about an object by tapping on it, then on Selection, and Object Info from there, you’ll see the object’s name and photo, as well as information about its appearance, mythology, historical observations, evolution, and more. I recommend toggling the app’s Compass option for automatic real-time tracking (so you don’t have to manually move it). The app offers the standard night sky map with AR constellation overlay, as well as tons of helpful information about celestial bodies (including over 120,000 stars and hundreds of other objects) in its sleek and well-organized interface. If you’re new to astronomy, Sky Safari (Free/Android, $2.99/iOS) is a great place to start.
