Zotti, G., Wolf, A. (2022). Stellarium: Finally at Version 1.0! And Beyond. Journal of Skyscape Archaeology, 8(2), 332–334. https://doi.org/10.1558/jsa.25608 Looking at the Stars by Jo Cotterill is a beautiful story targeted at older children/young adults. It handles serious themes that most readers would not have, and hopefully never will, deal with. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. Since then over 100 such gifts (conversational music concerts) were delivered to the inmates of correctional institutions, residents of long-term care facilities, refugees and war victims in Canada, Lithuania and Ukraine. One of the best of the market, the International Space Station (ISS) app enables you to explore the night sky, as well as figure when and where the International Space Station will fly by your home. Great news for those without a telescope.

The storytelling aspect to this novel makes it unique to others in this genre. There are many books that deal with war, refugees and death, but Amina’s stories provide something extra. They are beautiful and bring hope and faith into such as bleak and dangerous setting. Unfortunately for me, the Nightcap Camera app is only available on the app store for iPhones. I have been told that the ‘ Open Camera‘ app is a suitable alternative to NightCap for Android phones, although I have yet to try it myself. Star WalkFill the darkest night with a brilliant light/ Cause it's time for you to shine/ Brighter than a shooting star" - "Shooting Star," Owl City Meteoblue shows high precision weather forecasts combined with a beautiful, simple and easy-to-use design. Weather forecasts can be requested for any place on Earth easily and comfortably.” Sky Tonight is another app from Vito Technology, the same company who brought us Star Walk 2, and it is great for gathering lots of interesting information in one place alongside visually pleasing AR effects. My Aurora Forecast is the best app for seeing the Northern Lights in Canada and the rest of the world. Built with a sleek dark design, it appeals to both tourists and serious aurora watchers by telling you what you want to know – whether that is exactly how likely you are to see the aurora borealis or details about the solar winds and high-resolution sun imagery. With this app, you’ll be seeing the Northern Lights in no time.” It was really typical story about civil war & personally, I've seen a few movies that cover the same story arc minus the storytelling talent of Amina.

Some of the night sky apps mentioned in this article were pivotal in my education and understanding of the night sky. I often browse information about the target my telescope is pointed at using a smartphone app like Sky Safari Plus or Stellarium. The Night Sky 11stargazing app is best for iOS Apple device users. In fact, it should work on iPad, Mac and Apple TV (though we haven't tested the Apple TV version). It has a detailed user interface and is capable of adjusting for light pollution. We gave it nearly full marks in our full review because how easy it is to use, especially for beginners. What is the best stargazing app for Android? Amina herself, as a main character was brave, imaginative and independent and for a young girl thrown into the midst of war and destruction, it was difficult for her to adjust but with the aid of her sister Jenna, who was much more subdued, calmer and generous, Amina was able to learn that all good things take time and patience. Over time, Jenna herself began to learn that staying quiet was not always the best way and that sometimes, you did need to be more forthcoming, the way Amina was. It was beautiful seeing how both sisters were able to learn so much from one another on their journey and sought so much comfort from one another.

I hope this list of astronomy apps has given you at least 1 new useful tool for astronomy and astrophotography. My absolute favorite app is probably Stellarium, which is probably because I have been using it for so long and am very comfortable with it.
