Celestia - Space Simulator

Celestia Space Simulator lets you move between celestial objects and observe them from different locations and times.

Our take

Choose it to explore a three-dimensional catalog rather than identify a single point in tonight's sky.

You can move the viewpoint to another world, change simulation time and extend the catalog with add-ons.

Keep in mind: Add-on accuracy and scope can vary; it is not a substitute for calibrated observing equipment.

What you can do

  • Travel between objects in 3D
  • Change time and view from another body's surface
  • Expand the catalog with available add-ons

Good for

  • An astronomy learner who wants to explore how the sky appears from different viewpoints.

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone who mainly wants a live phone camera finder or telescope control.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • Add-on accuracy and scope can vary; it is not a substitute for calibrated observing equipment.

Privacy & permissions

The listing describes optional catalog add-ons; consult the current disclosure for any online usage.
