About PlanetariumVR

Messier Challenge & Star Challenge



Learn the positions of the 110 objects from the Messier catalog.
Learn the positions of 103 bright stars.

Star Sweeper



Play Star Sweeper - like the Minesweeper - in a giant sphere in virtual reality under the night sky.

Gallery mode



Explore hundreds of images representing deep sky objects, such as nebulae and galaxies.

Planetarium



With light pollution, it is getting more difficult to fully appreciate the night sky, see the constellations, and determine the position of deep sky objects, from our pale blue dot. With this planetarium, you can learn and appreciate the beauty of a dark night sky. Amateur astronomers can prepare their observations by having a real sense of where deep sky objects are through virtual reality, without relying on a GoTo mount.

"Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another." Plato, The Republic, 342 BCE.

    Not recommended Dec 21, 2021
    Mostly a collection of space pictures with classical music in the background.. VR content is lacking everywhere. Not even a clear visible model of the solar system.. a pretty big disappointment.

    [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.[/i] You can view my video gameplay & initial impressions here: https://youtu.be/oj0HVAklP1Q I honestly don't know enough about the subject matter to be able to properly review this app. This is a planetarium app for VR. You can see the night sky from whatever time, location that you choose. You can add a landscape to your view or completely eliminate it. You can see the different magnifications of the night sky, along with some different filters, such as a city view or a completely perfect night sky magnified times 8. There's deep sky catalogs for Herschel 400, Caldwell, & Messier. I had never heard of them prior. But basically they are photographs of those particular areas of the night sky, obviously magnified so you can see them with the naked eye. This is point and click navigation. You can see the night sky all around you. You can choose to have different grids showing to guide your view or you can completely turn them off. You can choose to have constellations highlighted for you, or you can turn them off. I do wish the navigation were smoother…

Video Review and gameplay: https://youtu.be/f16o_cLJRB8?t=2760 Ok it is far too technical for me but then I'm not into astronomy but if you are and like the technical side of stargazing then this is a good VR app for you.
