TheSkyLive App-Analysen für 15. August

TheSkyLive is a comprehensive application and online resource (theskylive.com) for astronomy enthusiasts of all levels. The application provides a wealth of up do date information about planets, comets, asteroids, space probes, constellations, stars and deep sky objects. TheSkyLive offers interactive sky maps that allow users to explore the night sky from their location and track the movements of celestial bodies in real-time. The application also features a detailed ephemeris calculator, and provides accurate astronomical data such as rising and setting times, magnitudes, and positions of celestial objects. Typical usage scenarios of TheSkyLive are: • Finding the celestial objects visible in the sky from a certain location at a given time • Being regularly updated about newly discovered comets. New comets that are bright enough to become interesting to amateur astronomers are added to the tracked objects in a timely way • Getting precise celestial coordinates and finder charts of minor objects like comets and asteroids, so that they can be photographed and/or identified • Visualize the configuration of the whole Solar System in space at a given time. This includes the visualization of the orbits of planets, comets or asteroids • Identify the satellites of Jupiter or Saturn during observations • Planning observation sessions, determining which objects will be visible and potentially observed during the different parts of the night • Getting precise information about past and future Solar Eclipse, possibly to plan their observation • Being informed about the upcoming approaches of Near Earth Objects
