The app can be used with any android device that has wi-fi, (and maybe other devices, but we just d/l’d it to our Kindle Fire’s) and is amazing to us, It’s called “Star Chart”, is free, and can be downloaded here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.escapistgames.starchart You can see all the stars and constellations above and around you as well as being able to point if down to see the stars, constellations etc on the other side of the earth from you, the southern hemisphere (assuming you live in the Northern one and vise versa). Our grand daughters really love it as well as you can “pinch and expand” the screen for a closer look and get info that will pop up telling you how many light yrs that certain star (or planet etc) is away from us and so on. Pretty amazing what they can do these days with apps. The above app has links to other similar apps as well, Chuck -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
