Hi sudhirk, you can improve this question by showing a little prior research. Its fairly easy to search for [android apps and planetarium software](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sky%20map), and any of the apps would probably suit your needs.

Could I get info on android app or book where I can see real-time position of planets and other amazing celestial bodies, I am in the northern hemisphere.
