Light Pollution Map - Dark Sky 5.3.1

Light Pollution Map is a comprehensive tool for astronomy enthusiasts seeking optimal viewing conditions. With its highly accurate and customizable light pollution map, users can easily locate dark sky viewing locations free from the interference of artificial light. The app offers a range of features to enhance the stargazing experience, making it much more than just a light pollution map.

One noteworthy feature is the live aurora borealis viewing map, which provides users with real-time information on KP values and magnetic field activity, catering to the needs of even the most dedicated aurora chasers. Additionally, the app offers a live aurora borealis visibility map for both the northern and southern hemisphere, complete with timelapse options, ensuring that users never miss out on this breathtaking phenomenon.

The ISS Tracker is another standout feature, providing users with live updates on the international space station's location, visibility, velocity, altitude, and more. This valuable tool allows users to track the ISS's movements in real-time, adding an extra layer of excitement to their astronomical adventures.

The night sky event calendar is a useful feature that enables users to find dates for lunar eclipses, super moons, and meteor showers. By keeping users informed about these celestial events, the app ensures that they never miss an opportunity to witness these captivating occurrences.

Furthermore, the app includes features such as live images of the Sun via NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a darkness countdown timer that indicates when the night sky will be at its darkest, an astronomy photo of the day sourced from NASA, and local temperature and cloud coverage indicators for added convenience.

The app also offers a range of customization options, allowing users to personalize their experience based on their preferences. Features such as moon information (phase, rise and set times), moon direction tool for locating the moon's position at any given time and date, and a horizon safe radius circle to avoid light pollution from nearby cities, further enhance its functionality.

To ensure users never miss out on significant events, the app provides push notifications for local and global aurora borealis activity, meteor showers, super moons, and lunar eclipses. Users can also save and load their favorite dark sky locations for easy navigation using the Apple Maps app.

While some features require an in-app purchase to access the pro version, every purchase contributes to the continued development and operation of the app.

It is important to note that Light Pollution Map requires an internet connection or WiFi to load data and that the user bears responsibility for any data usage charges from their service provider.
