What exactly is Universe2go+?
Universe2go+ builds a bridge between the digital world and the reality of the night sky. Both combine to create an incredible unity. Constellations are overlaid with their connecting lines and accompanying text, planets exist not only as gleaming specks of light, but also in another dimension supplemented with images and exciting information - but that's not all. How does Universe2go+ do that? The answer lies in the concept of augmented reality and the fantastic possibilities offered by modern smartphone devices. You will become an expert on the night sky in no time at all.
Download the app, insert Smartphone into the viewer and you're ready to go
Universe2go+ uses a revolutionary new star viewer to show you the starry sky using the corresponding app. Simply download the free app from the App Store and put your smartphone into a star viewer.
And when the stars appear in the evening, you're ready to go - simply go outside and look up at the night sky through the Universe2go+ star viewer. It can show you the constellations, planets, deep-sky objects and anything that you want to see in the night sky. You can simply 'take a stroll through space', with the Universe2go+ keeping you orientated - just as if you had always been able to do just that.
Increased precision when observing
Universe2go+ is now even more precise and intelligent. Thanks to its complementary plate-solving technology, your mobile planetarium offers unprecedented accuracy in star recognition. The smartphone camera synchronizes the position of the stars with its internal database. A powerful feature that goes far beyond the expectations of AR glasses. This promises you an even more impressive experience, combining real stars with digital information.
Menu navigation: we’ve got it nailed
The menu navigation has been greatly improved. It offers all the important functions at a glance and has been improved both in its design and intuitive use. This means that controlling the planetarium fits seamlessly into your observation routine without distracting you from the essentials.
Suitable for virtually all smartphones
The hand-held planetarium has been optimised for use with larger smartphones measuring up to 167x78x11mm. But you have a smaller model? No problem, you can use it too. Thanks to the new holder and the pads supplied, the hand-held planetarium fits your smartphone perfectly.
For explorers of the night sky
Explore all 88 constellations in our night sky. You can orient yourself very quickly as you do not just see the stars themselves but the constellation lines and names simultaneously superimposed by Universe2go.
Into the beyond - everything about nebulae and galaxies
We can travel 'where no man has gone before' with our own eyes. Universe2go+ shows numerous deep sky objects such as star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. We cannot see most deep sky objects directly. But Universe2go+ shows you majestic images of these objects, taken with the best telescopes in the world, at their actual positions in the night sky. And if you ever want to explore the night sky with a telescope, you will then know exactly where you need to look.
Accompanied by audio explanations - 3 hours of exciting information for listening to
Universe2go+ does not just visually show you the night sky. Over 3 hours of audio material will teach you a wealth of exciting information about constellations, stars, planets and many nebulae and galaxies. So you experience the night sky in two different ways - by both seeing and hearing.
Listen to legendary Greek myths
Some of the oldest legends of humanity - Greek mythology - tell us stories of the night sky-. Recognize the constellations, see the old figures, and hear all about them. How could Cetus, the sea monster, be defeated? Why did Cassiopeia bring the wrath of the gods down upon herself? Listen to the heroic tales of kings, spells and monsters. And you will learn why they were exiled to the night sky.
