Step 1. Make sure that your current location is set in the app settings. Tap the menu icon in the lower right corner of the screen and choose “Visible Tonight”. You will see the objects that can be seen in your sky tonight and a grid with the information about their rise, set and culmination. Tap on the item and its data will appear on the grid.

Step 2. To know what is happening in the sky with the Sun, the Moon and four main planets, check the “Sky Live” section of Star Walk 2.

You will be presented with the information about the objects’ rise and set times, elevation angle, daylight hours, the phases of the moon.
