  • Star Walk is an interactive, digital skymap application on the tablets available to the lab.
  • If you move the tablet around, it will show you a display of whatever part of the sky you are pointing at. You can zoom in and out by pinching or spreading your fingers on the screen. The small icon in the upper right toggles overlay of the camera view, giving an "augmented reality" experience.
  • You can freeze the view on the screen by tapping with two fingers. With the view frozen, you can move around the sky by dragging with your fingers. In this mode, you can also move time forward or backward by touching the clock icon in the upper right of the screen.
  • Take some time to explore the application with your team and discover some of the different tools and features. If you have any trouble, you can refer to the Star Walk section of the tablet video tutorial.
