Star Tales: Night Sky Guide

Every star has a story. Point your phone at one and hear it: the distance, the myth, the strange and human details behind the light. STAR TRIVIA THAT REWARDS CURIOSITY Star Finder transforms a clear night into a guided journey across the sky. Simply aim your phone at any star, planet, or the Moon, and a warm voice will reveal what you're seeing and why it matters. Move from one star to the next and let each story unfold. Lower your arm, listen, and let the night sky be your teacher. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE NIGHT SKY Stargazing happens in the dark, at arm's length, with cold hands. If you've ever tried to read a star's name on your screen, only to lose it as you brought the phone closer, this app is your solution. * Works completely offline, ready at the dark site with no signal * Red-lit, quiet design that keeps your eyes adjusted to the dark * Big labels, readable at arm's length * Spoken star names, positions, and trivia for a flawless experience. WHAT YOU WILL FIND * Over 800 stars, each one spoken by name * All the major constellations, drawn on the sky and told as stories: the myth, the science, and how to find them. * The Moon, with tonight's phase, when it sets, and the days to full or new, with a different story every night * The planets visible to the naked eye, placed for the exact moment you're looking * Famous deep-sky sights: the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades, the Andromeda Galaxy * Gently narrated star trivia for the brightest stars, major constellations, the planets, the Moon, and famous deep-sky sights * Easy calibration for perfect sky alignment * A real-sky view with no fake stars.

Type the name and the results appear as you type, instantly. Every row tells you whether it is up tonight or still below the horizon. Pick one and an arrow beside the crosshair turns toward it as you move the phone. A pulsing ring marks the star once it is on screen, and the moment you land on it, the guide starts its story. PLAN YOUR NIGHT Scrub the Sky Tonight Clock through the hours to see what rises, what sets, and when the Moon leaves. Plan the evening before you step outside.

Enjoy a gentle, red-lit screen and a warm voice sharing the quiet stories of the night sky.
