Description
Hold the Moon in your hands. Moon Globe turns your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a precision instrument for viewing Earth's Moon. Satellite imagery and topographic laser altimeter data are combined to render the Moon with realistic lighting in realtime 3D.
Use the multitouch screen to manipulate the view. Spin above the surface, or switch to Telescope mode to see the Moon as it appears from your location on Earth. Adjust the display time and watch the sunlight shift over the lunar landscape. A "tag cloud" floats just above the surface, labeling terrain features and spacecraft; touch any label to find out more about that feature. Moon Globe also shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky with its dynamic sky compass.
This sophisticated astronomy simulation is FREE so that you can learn about Earth's Moon and wow your friends with what your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad can do. For Moon Globe fans, Moon Globe HD is also available with twice the map resolution.
What’s New
Version 2.3
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
• Updated for iOS 7 and iOS 8. iOS 7 or later is required for this update.
• Supports full resolution on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
• Slightly improved graphics rendering (since OpenGLES 1.x no longer has to be supported).
• The Sky Compass projection is now based on angular elevation. This better indicates how high the Moon and Sun are in the sky.
Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant! Awesome! Unbelievable! Terrifffic! Exceptional!
What's not to like? Only one thing, and that's teeny, the program takes your geodetic position into account as to libation, but firmly keeps north North, even when viewing from the dratted southern HemisPhere. Telescope view allows one to filp and flop to one's heart's content, but the default view is for the majority of astRonomers in the northern hemispHere. [set to 100 miles altitude, clean view, rotate slow, and you have the view from one of the Command Modules orbiting the Lunar Surface!]
Moon Globe Magic
Superb, Fantastic, Wonderful - one could easily run out of words of praise trying to describe Moon Globe. This app is one of the most well thought out I've come across. Easy to use and just a joy to behold. Have bought the Mars version as well and hope there will be more soon. Well done to Midnight Martian!
