Galaxy Map
Find out where our Sun - the Solar System - is located in the Milky Way galaxy!
From the outskirts of the galaxy, in the Norma-Outer spiral arm to the galactic center's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, discover a galaxy full of amazing facts. Notable structures included: the Pillars of Creation, Helix Nebula, the Engraved Hourglass Nebula, the Pleiades, the Orion Arm (where the solar system and the Earth are located) with its Orion belt.
Check out neighboring dwarf galaxies such as Sagittarius and the Canis Major Overdensity, stellar streams as well as internal galactic components such as a variety of nebulae, star clusters or supernovae.
Explore space and get a little closer to our wonderful universe with this awesome astronomy app!
This interactive 3D map is excellent for teachers to use for instruction, and it is a great resource for students to explore the Milky Way galaxy and space as they learn more about the universe we live in.

I love it!! It cool to see my fav nebula in 3D. And the amount of objects is astounding! Keep up the great work!
Controls are impossible. I go to zoom in and instead it highlights something I didnt want to click on and that highlight is there forever, blocking anything else I want to look at. Or I tap a region just to see the name and instead it zooms in or out to a completely different map view and wont let me just go back. A shame, because it seemed interesting, but too frustrating to use.
It's a decent app, however I was hoping for something more in-depth. Can't seem to find an app, site, or program that has features like quick zooming to known planets, galaxies, moons, and bodies like comets and blackholes. Did the purchase for the 3D models, but there aren't many and unfortunately it doesn't disable the ads. Disabling them is an entirely separate purchase -_-
exactly what it said it was, milky way galaxy... there are many interesting patterns and shapes!📈
works good graphics and physics integrated and functional well. not sure how accurate but looks great and is easy to use. nice app!
is fun and educating, but not the easiest to use.
Brilliant, great graphics and information. Easy to use.
I downloaded this app two times because I liked it but when I open it just shows an image
I would give 10 stars if I could! I downloaded this meaning to just check it out really quick and wound up spending 3 hours exploring before I knew what had happened Lol... Thank you for this wonderful app!
Pretty thorough in that it shows the spatial dimensions of the satellite galaxies.
The app is not light years and i cant zoom in distance
SUP. AH interesting to watch and learn RECOMMEND AND THANK YOU very much🌅🌈🧸🌅🌏🕊️🙏
I came in, thinking that this would be another bad star map, but now that I'm using it, it's probably one of the best out there. There are no bugs and I can't believe that it's free. Thank you for making this!
Ok the glitch is gone. This game along with the other, (Stars and Planets), is Golden. 5 stars for sure
I Love this App. I've just started using it. I'm not sure how many functions it has. That's unimportant. it has an amazing representation of the Milky Way Galaxy. it's eye opening. That's where you are people. Gain knowledge about it. All that you can I recommend! BECOME a better human!
Great site, makes interesting viewing and good learning experience for the next generation
I gave it 4 stars because I can't find the Andromeda galaxy, plz add it so I could discover it.
well I downloaded the app and just now finally got into it so now let's see how well it works. hope it doesn't slow my phone down
I love it ! a nice look around the neighborhood
Love it! So much information and so much fun to navigate!
Great source of knowledge and of "useful" entertainment.
Gotta give this one just 1 cause it couldn't load video, did hear audio though. I know rayden can do better. I'm sure this is a great space app.
very helpful but only 3 or 4are 3D
This is perfect for students.
I prefer your other app, this one is a pay to see anything... Uninstalled it. :(
A search bar would be nice
Just getting used to it but I think it's incredible, thank you!
Thank you so much! Truly inspiring you made my heart smile on a day when I needed it most. The universe improved when you were born and that includes all the satellites and technology that's our family too.
