The Menu options provide different functions, with many of them locked until you purchased Stellarium PLUS. When you tap the Search field, aside from being able to type, you also have the option to search the celestial body using the Browse by type function, which appears just after you tap the Search field. You can also swipe up the gray dialog box to see more information about that celestial body, such as its visibility and current position. Use the Zoom icons on the bottom right to zoom in to that celestial body to see it closer, or zoom out to see its immediate surrounding. Stellarium centers the view to the location of that celestial body with a white crosshair to indicate it, and a gray dialog box appears at the bottom with the name of that celestial body. Type the name of the celestial body and press the Enter key. SearchĪcross the top of Stellarium's user interface is the Search function. These functions are based on Stellarium Mobile Free for Android, v1.6.5. While Stellarium mobile does not have the full function of the Stellarium for personal computers, it is still a powerful application to help in stargazing. A year ago, there are no Stellarium Mobile Free or Stellarium Mobile PLUS in Google Play Store it only has Stellarium Mobile that is not free. Yet, as of today, only Stellarium Mobile Free appears in search results of Google Playstore, with Stellarium PLUS available as an add-on after you installed the free version. Just a month or two ago, Google Playstore lists Stellarium Mobile Free and Stellarium Mobile PLUS separately. To install Stellarium PLUS on an Apple mobile device (Iphone or Ipad), search "Stellarium" in Apple App Store and tap the price button (₱499.00 in the screenshot), proceed with the payment process, and install it. Stellarium Mobile Free is apparently not available for Ios/Apple. Stellarium Mobile Free will appear with several other digital star maps. To install Stellarium Mobile in Android, search "Stellarium" in Google Play Store. I am not sure if these missing functions become available with Stellarium PLUS I'll write another entry should I decide to purchase it. Stellarium Mobile does not have all the functions of Stellarium in computers, but for the purpose of bringing a star map in an open field where stars are more visible, it is more than sufficient. Once installed, you can upgrade to Stellarium PLUS, where additional functions and catalogs become available. Stellarium Mobile is free to install hence, it's called Stellarium Mobile Free in Google Playstore. Hence, it can be more practical for most people to bring a mobile device with a digital star map application installed instead of printed copies. Stellarium and other digital star maps are now available for mobile devices. Many educational applications are now available for mobile devices. Second, Iphones and Android-based smartphones have so much increased usage that more people know are browsing the internet using their mobile phones. Thus I have yet to check if such almanacs are still available and which government agency sells them. ![]() First, the Philippines already has a separate agency called the Philippine Space Agency. ![]()
