What’s better than using Mobile Observatory 3 Pro – Astronomy by Wolfgang Zima? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
So Mobile Observatory 3 Pro is basically an astronomy toolbox for anyone even a little interested in what’s going on overhead. It’s for people who find themselves glancing up at the sky and actually want to figure out what that bright thing is or maybe catch the next big meteor shower or eclipse. When using it on PC with BlueStacks, there’s something nice about seeing the star charts and sky maps on a big screen — everything’s clear and a lot less squinty than using a phone. The app covers pretty much every kind of space object or event you could think of: stars, comets, planets, satellites, even down to asteroids and deep sky stuff like galaxies or clusters.
It does a lot more than just tell you what you’re looking at, though. The main map is interactive – you scroll around, zoom in, click anything that catches your eye and get layers of info, like rise and set times, how visible things will be, even predictions for when you might spot something rare. If something big is happening in the sky, the app can ping you with a notification so you won’t miss it. There’s an augmented reality feature (which is a bit more fun on a phone, but still cool) where you can point your camera and match up real objects with what’s on the screen. For those who want the nitty-gritty details, it gets really deep with catalogues and astronomical calculations, with things like lunar phases, solar positions, and all the numbers behind them. There are widgets, reminders, and calendars built right in, so it’s a bit like carrying around a pocket planetarium. The interface is modern and not too complicated, which helps since the app is dense with options. Even if someone is only mildly curious about space, there’s usually something happening, and this makes sure you actually know when and where to look.
Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
