iPhone astronomy apps have been quite popular in the past couple of years. Exploring the objects in the sky is fun on an iPhone but even better on an iPad. There is simply no comparison between the experience that you get from an iPad astronomy app and its counterpart for the iPhone. The bigger screen (especially iPad 3’s retina one) makes a whole lot of difference.

If you are into stargazing and want to use your iPad to explore the objects in the sky like never before, these 10 astronomy apps for iPad have you covered:

Luminos: one of the best astronomy apps we have tested on our iPad. It had 3D views of planets and moons. It covers over 2.5m  stars and thousands of other objects. Gives you a great bang for buck.

Red Shift: another great looking astronomy app for iPad. It covers over 100k stars and 500+ Deep Sky objects. Provides support for iPad 3’s retina display. The 3D flights to the moon and planets are awesome.

Star Chart: a powerful tool that calculates the current location of every star and planet visible from Earth and shows you where they are. Helps you identify objects in the sky too.

Star Walk: provides you with a breathtaking experience with the stars right on your iPad. Can identify the stars as you explore them on your device too.

    Sky Safari is by far the best astronomy app for the ipad, in fact it is the best astronomy app period. Even The Sky X and Cartes Du Ciel are not as good.

      We have reviewed many of them on our YouTube channel. Maybe that will help: http://www.youtube.com/user/appfinders/search?query=astronomy

          We will do more videos. We are trying to get this video thing right. The videos get way too long when we try to compare apps, so we have to find a solution or do long episodes maybe. 🙂 But videos are much better than articles. Much easier to show what these app can and can’t do that way

            Videos are a great service. As I mentioned on a different thread, a table of features (left column) and apps (top row) with checks for an apps available features would be a great supplement to the videos.
