Description

Explore local space with this handy 3D app! The Near Star Map is an easy-to-use 3D visualization tool for nearby stars within 50 light-years of Earth's solar system.

Rotate and zoom the display using touch controls. Tap a star to bring up a brief information display about the selected star system. A text search function is present for locating nearby stars by name or catalog number. Information is included about the individual stars and any known planets for each system. General educational information about star classification is also included.

Updates will add more distant stars to the database. Exoplanet information for all listed stars will be added as research data becomes available in the public domain. This informational product is not supported by advertisements and requires no special permissions to run.

Note: Larger screens provide the best viewing experience, but the app is routinely tested on screens from HVGA 480x320 to WXGA 1280x800.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★The app isn't working at all
1 ★doesn't start
5 ★Thank You!
4 ★Coded something like this back in the 90s and this is a nice clean version. The problem with any display like this is providing more ways to interact and orient. Nor sure of the answers myself, but this is going the right way.
1 ★just shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second and then closes.
5 ★Earths closest stellar neighbors.
5 ★Thank you very much! Is it possible to add switching to natural color of stars?
5 ★Oh thanks
5 ★Good Kpn
4 ★Excellent start for this app. I look forward to seeing more stars and planetary data. It would be cool to have an option to draw constellation lines, then select a different star and see how the constellations transform.
