Moon Globe HD

I’m a very dedicated amateur astronomy educator, and I spend a lot of time showing people the moon. I’m sad to say that my knowledge of the names of the moon’s craters and highlands is middling at best. This app is a beautiful and easy-to-use tool for reviewing those names, for figuring out what you can see on the moon when, and for generally exploring our closest celestial neighbor. There’s nothing half as good on the app store for learning our moon

I've been using this app for some time for Lunar feature observation/identification. It great to be able to reverse the 'atlas' left to right as seen in my 8" SCT and small refractor. Sure beats trying to look through the back of a paper atlas at the scope. Recommended. Don Horne

I am an amateur astronomer who observes and conducts public outreach on a regular basis. I have many Moon references, in book form, plastic maps, and iPhone/iPad app formats. They all provide great information. But the one resource that is always with me and used most often outside at the telescope, is this app. It is visually stunning, versatile, readable, loaded with useful information and very easy to use. And it does not turn into paper mâché in heavy dew situations. The ability to clearly recognize and locate lunar features at various scale of magnification is a tremendous aid, whether I'm trying to find something new or in effectively conveying understanding to the general public. Thank you so much for producing and continuing to supporting this outstanding tool!
