Lapdrop Sky draws the real sky for the place where you stand, live. About 2,300 stars, all 88 constellations and the twelve zodiac constellations in gold, the planets, the Moon with its phase, the Sun, and the International Space Station plus around 160 bright satellites moving in real time. Tap any star, planet or satellite to see what it is, where it is and how high it stands. Slide the time bar to see tonight's sky or yesterday's.

Under the map you find space weather (aurora level and solar flares), asteroids passing Earth in the next 60 days measured in Moon distances, recent fireballs, every earthquake of magnitude 4.5 and up worldwide in the last 24 hours, and tsunami warnings. When something big happens, Lapdrop shows a heads-up card in the app.

The Cosmic year tab explains the Great Year: the slow 25,772-year wobble of the Earth that moves the zodiac. You will see why the Sun now stands one constellation behind its star sign, how far we are into the Age of Pisces and when Aquarius begins. There is also a just-for-fun alien invasion meter, clearly marked as a game.
