Human beings have always been fascinated by the stars in the sky, perhaps even more than ever now, with science uncovering more and more mysteries about the cosmos every day. Smartphones and tablets are playing a pretty large role in the popularity of astronomy, thanks in part to the simple and exciting ways they can display information about the heavens.

Stellarium Mobile is the latest in a reasonably long line of Android apps that let you explore space from the relative comfort of wherever you find yourself at any given time. Stellarium offers a lot more than an AR view of the sky, mapping important stars and points of interest, but also acting as an extra instrument while you're out star gazing, letting you check what you're looking at, and place your sightings in a much wider context. You can dress your image up with a variety of different options, including constellation images from a variety of different cultures, as well as Equatorial and Azimuthal grids. It's certainly a useful tool for the sky gazer, and you can quickly and simply add or subtract layers of data, such as the names of planets, stars and nebulae with a few taps. Scrolling through the sky can be controlled with finger swipes or by tilting your device, and you can horizon line, or simply view the cosmos as one giant, joined up canvas of stars. Stellarium Mobile is gorgeous to look at, packed to the brim with features, and a perfect app for veterans and newcomers alike.

Mobile devices are becoming more and more important as educational tools, and this is a prime example of an entertaining, engaging and highly informative app.

Verdict: A great Android app for anyone who likes the night sky.
