Looking up at the stars through technology.Star Walk is an app worth $4.99. Its basically a planetarium on your iPad. Tilt the iPad up to the sky and identify celestial bodies and constellations, if you move it will move with you tracking your location anywhere in the world. You can also go into the future or past and see where stars were aligned.
Over 88 constellations, 9,000 stars, and 32 meteor showers can be identified. The graphics are amazing and I also love the dimmed red night mode. Plus, as soon as the app starts the sounds and music will transport you.
Its like the 5th grade star lab all over again.
