<p>Try something like Stellarium (<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noctuasoftware.stellarium" rel="nofollow noreferrer">apk</a> or <a href="http://stellarium.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PC</a>), or Celestron's Starry Night <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.celestron.skyportal" rel="nofollow noreferrer">apk</a> for your phone (if you don't want to pay).
Hope that helps!

I feel these are easy to use, esp. if you're just starting out in astronomy or something.

<p>Is there an app, similar to flightradar for planes, that will tell me what's traveling above me in the sky?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-05-06)

I'm not an astronomer but I enjoy looking up at the sky.

So tonight I saw *something* moving in the sky. It looked like a star, and it was definitely not a plane (I checked in flightradar).

Is there an app, similar to flightradar for planes, that will tell me what's traveling above me in the sky?
