Star Walk for iPad – the popular and award-winning astronomy app – has had a recent update, to Version 5.3.
The headline change in this update is the addition of a new database:
an extensive database of currently functioning artificial Earth satellites (all 8000 of them!) with their exact positions over the ground.
The database covers satellites in these categories:
– Special-Interest
– Weather & Earth Resources
– Communications
– Navigation
– Scientific
– Miscellaneous
Once again, an already excellent app continues to provide worthwhile updates – always good to see.
Here’s an App Store link for Star Walk for iPad; it’s priced at $4.99.
