Redshift brings the night sky to your desktop, with all major and dwarf planets, constellations and bright stars displayed in top quality. The application goes beyond the basic planetarium because it also displays a 3D-model of the nearby part of our Galaxy.

Perform various amazing 3-D flights and visit the Moon and all planets in our Solar system. Detailed surface maps display those objects in a close-up right before your eyes. Once you have arrived at your target object, you can enter into an orbit around the celestial body just like an astronaut in a real spacecraft.

Or choose the most thrilling option of all: Travel to the stars in the depth of the Galaxy, some of which are up to 3,000 light years away from our home planet!

Find selected objects in the sky: By using the position sensors and the compass (3GS or higher), you can reach every celestial body. Turn on the Follow Sky mode of your device to identify stars and planets that shine in the real night sky in front of you.

Thrilling images present around 500 galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and other Deep Sky objects on your screen images otherwise available only through the largest telescopes in observatories worldwide.

Every calculation within the application is done in real time for any given epoch in the 20th and 21st centuries, such as positions of stars and planets, the motion of Earth and the Moon, or flybys of comets. You can easily accelerate or slow down the progress of time by a wheel to watch the thrilling events in the night sky in full detail.

Customer Reviews

Great app! (5 stars)
Awesome app with links right to Wikipedia to almost every celestial body, constellation ect. One of the most immersive apps for astronomy out there. Literally flies you into space. A fantastic learning experience. Although the user interface could be a little more user friendly for beginners as it does take a little while to understand this app. Bottom line, if your into astronomy this is the app for you, you will not be dissapointed!!!

Redshift (5 stars)
Redshift is the coolest thing I've ever seen. My grandkids were here The nine-year-old is studying astronomy. It was fabulous! I would recommend it for anyone, any age! The program was very easy-to-understand and very easy-to-use. Love it!

Great update! (5 stars)
Love the many additions to the 'take 3D flight' section. The new music for the 'Space' option is so much better than the previous one. I wish this could run in the background just so I could listen to it without having the app on screen. This latest update just made the best astronomy app even better than it already was. Thank You'
