Personal Planetarium Universe2go

Universe2go is an augmented-reality star viewer and app duo that combines an actual view of the stars with history, mythology and lasting impressions. Using your smartphone, Universe2go lets you see the night sky with a superimposed, digital picture and tons of information and descriptions, offering a truly revolutionary perspective of the universe, and the chance to explore the cosmos with astounding precision and ease. Just download the app, insert your smartphone into the viewer, and when the stars appear in the evening, you can step outside and look up at the night sky through the Universe2go star viewer. It will show you the constellations, planets, deep-sky objects and anything that you want to see in the night sky - your own hand-held planetarium.

Using digital information superimposed onto a real image of the night sky,
you'll get to know all 88 star constellations, the location of the planets, and even take a trip to a wealth of galaxies, star clusters and nebulae. Universe2go even tells you when the International Space Station appears on the horizon. With over three hours of audio information about the observable night sky, you can immerse yourself in fascinating legends from Greek mythology and beyond. Recognize the constellations, see the old figures, and hear all about them. How could Cetus, the sea monster, be defeated? Why did Cassiopeia bring the wrath of the gods down upon herself? Listen to the heroic tales of kings, spells and monsters. And you will learn why they were exiled to the night sky.

We cannot see most deep sky objects directly, but Universe2go shows you majestic 3D images of these objects, taken with the best telescopes in the world, at their actual positions in the night sky. No astronomical object can really be seen in three-dimensional form, but the built-in technology lets nebulae be viewed as if you were in a spaceship at that very spot.
