Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out The Sky by Redshift, a Education app by USM on BlueStacks.
The Sky by Redshift feels like a friendly planetarium that actually makes sense. On a phone, a person can point the device at the night sky and the app names what is up there, stars, planets, even the ISS. On a PC with BlueStacks, it is more of a click and drag deal, and the bigger screen makes the constellations and labels easier to read without squinting. The real-time positions update as things move, and turning on orbits helps explain why those dots are where they are, not just what they are.
What stands out is how it mixes exploration with clear explanations. Tap Jupiter, zoom in, and it shows the moons. Curious about a solar eclipse or what opposition means for Mars, it has short animations that get to the point without turning into a lecture. There is a lot here, thousands of stars, all the constellations, deep sky objects that actually look nice when zoomed, and a handy timeline to see what will be visible tonight. The eclipse section is surprisingly robust too, with path info, a timetable that uses the chosen location, and a safe viewing primer that is not scary or preachy.
Beginners can wander without feeling lost, while hobby stargazers still get useful tools like satellites, comets, and accurate tracking. Location can be set by map, search, or GPS, and there is a big city list, so getting aligned is simple. The optional subscription adds more spaceflights, extra knowledge bits, an eclipse calendar back to 1900 and forward to 2100, plus a guided tour of the Mars 2020 mission with visuals from Perseverance. It is educational, but in a calm way that invites poking around for a few minutes that somehow becomes an hour.
BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
