Stargazing apps are a dime a dozen, but there’s always room for more. Especially when they provide original new features, like Night Sky 2 does.

Available on the iTunes App Store as of today, Night Sky 2 promises a magical stargazing experience with a wealth of information on all the stars and planets in the visible sky.

It sports a Night Sky Community that allows amateur astronomers to share ideal stargazing locations across the world using advanced light pollution mapping technology.

“This feature is set to be a huge hit with avid astronomers, and those looking to enhance their night sky explorations,” according to iCandi Apps.

Night Sky 2 also offers stargazing weather, which details cloud cover, temperature, wind speeds and visibility, as well as push notifications with info on the stargazing conditions for the night ahead. The app sells for $0.99 / €0.89.
