We were at a friend's house this week looking at the stars since they live in the middle of the Nevada desert.....lots of big sky there. They pulled out their phone and let us use their Google Sky Map app. (Make sure to watch the video.)
This is so awesome that I couldn't help but share.
We came home and loaded our Android phone with the app (free) and now we can use it by pointing it at the sky and it will identify anything that is up there. It even works during the daylight. This is going to be such a great addition to our astronomy studies this fall and winter.
Hope you get to try it soon.
