Unique feature
Most deep-sky objects are invisible to the naked eye. Scale the sky with one slider and make distant galaxies as easy to find as nearby star clusters.
Our object list is the 5,000 largest and brightest deep-sky objects from the NGC/IC catalogue, all Messier included.
Survey imagery comes from DSS2, SDSS, and Pan-STARRS.
Our curated selection of 197 featured images draws from Hubble (HST), ESO, and astrophotographers, including a special collaboration with Adam Block.

Watch the sky move through time.

1888: a century of mapping the faint objects scattered across the night sky culminates in the New General Catalogue.

1923: Andromeda is not a cloud within our galaxy, but another galaxy entirely. What we called the universe was suddenly just one galaxy among countless others.

1996: pointing at tiny patches of empty sky revealed thousands of galaxies, making ours just one among trillions.
The deeper we looked, the bigger the universe became.
