+ This turned out to be a BIG one for me: Lowest resolution imagery or any of the moon maps. + All imagery has a good (though static) lighting angle such that terrain relief is clear.
#THE MOON ATLAS FULL#
+ Full 3D globe if you want or explore from other angles.
+ Has upside-down & mirror mode, and night vision (red) mode. + Provides extra data (including libration plot), not just the map itself! + Dynamic labeling based on zoom (clearest labeling I’ve seen among apps!) + Takes into account libration and viewers position Very featureful, but low rez images makes this useless with telescope Still waiting for a reply on the e-mail I sent the developper. Crashes within 5 seconds of launch every single time. The Mars Atlas on the other hand, is a complete mess. This app have the potential to be a lot more then a virtual telescope (and a tempermental telescope at that).īut, overall, it is still a wonderfull and useful app. Taping on these labels should give you a lot more info and some photos. You only get a couple of lines on The Sea of Tranquility and Appalo 17. More information on key structures would be nice. It can be frustrating when zooming in or out as the screen will just jump and you lose what you were looking at. Also, the zoom and pan features are really touchy. I don't expect a google earth degree of detail of course, but a higher degree of resolution should be available. Looks great but the images get blurry pretty quickly. You can spin the moon and zoom in on anything. I wish I could love this app a little more, but there is potential. If you fancy trying to land on the Moon, try Apollo Eagle, a simulation of the last 50,000 feet of the Apollo 11 landing. Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn atlases are also available on the App Store!Īlso there is Planisphere, a star charting app, available on the App Store! You can swipe left and right on the phase view to go backwards and forwards a day and on the libration chart to go backwards and forwards a month. In addition, information about the current Moon phase and libration are provided. Over 1800 named features are included as well as 26 spacecraft that reached the surface of the Moon. The Moon globe can be shown with north or south at the top or inverted to suit different telescope views.
#THE MOON ATLAS UPDATE#
There is also a realtime mode that will update to the current time. The phase can be switched off and the far side is shown in a slightly darker shade of grey.ĭate, time and location can be changed. The feature database is searchable and can move the globe to a searched feature. You can switch to a 'Globe' mode that allows you to spin the Moon around to see far side features. Moon Atlas displays the phase and libration of the Moon from your chosen location and renders these on the globe. You can double tap on the labels to get more information about a particular feature. As you zoom in more labels appear as finer detail comes into view. This is a rendered sphere and not a static map image. Moon Atlas is an astronomy application that lets you use pinch and finger gestures to manipulate a 3D globe of the Moon.
