Positions are computed on your phone from established astronomical models and checked against NASA JPL's ephemerides. Orbits come from CelesTrak. No account; your location never leaves your phone. Sky Today is free and supported by a small banner on the Today and Calendar tabs. It is never shown over the sky map.
