Moon Globe
*** The best, most amazing Moon app on the store is now FREE for the month of November. Your five-star reviews will help us keep it free indefinitely. If you like our work, we hope you'll also check out our other apps, Mars Globe and Moonlight Mahjong. ***
*** Thank you for making Moon Globe the #2 Free Educational App in the US! We are working on a 1.1 update that will use just-released laser altimeter data to make Moon Globe even more realistic! ***
Put the Moon in your pocket with amazing 3D graphics and touch navigation. Moon Globe shows you how the Moon appears today, and lets you zoom in like a telescope with up to 500 power magnification. Switch to globe mode, and you can spin above the surface, taking in the hidden far side, and look over the limb to see Earth in the distance. Surface features and landed spacecraft are labelled in an elegant 3D tag cloud. Adjust the time dynamically with on screen controls, and watch the sunlight move over the terrain. Moon Globe even shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky at your location, with its dynamic sky compass.
Features:
- Telescope mode and globe mode
- Sharp high-resolution views
- Dynamic time and illumination point adjustment
- Realtime topographic shading
- Over 1800 labelled terrain features
- "Sky compass" shows Moon and Sun position in the sky; points toward actual north on devices with a built in magnetic compass (iPhone 3GS).
- Image rotate and reverse to match how the Moon appears through a telescope or binoculars.
If you'd like to try out this app with a smaller download, see Moon Globe Lite, which has one tenth the bytes.
