Among the various Android mobile phone applications, the most creative one I think is the Sky Map which is developed by Google itself. Google Sky Map is a virtual interstellar probe, it is just like a miniature telescope which can allow you to look up at the sky and to explore the mysteries of the universe. At present the Google Sky Map (Google Sky) can view various celestial bodies, including stars, constellations, galaxies, planets and the moon, and it allows the users to set what celestial bodies to show freely. The Google Sky Map completely depends on the Android mobile phone built-in system GPS and accelerator. It can utilize your location accurately, including the direction you are facing, where mobile phone tendency and so on. And then it can show the nebula map of your current location map to you. What’s more, the nebula map will move follow your direction.

Google Sky Map is very easy to use. What you need to do is just making the back of mobile phone toward sky. Then it will display a specific nebula map of the sky on your phone screen, thus you can know where you should go to view stars. If you revolve whit your phone toward sky, the map also will revolve follow you. Much more fun than that. If you are looking for a particular galaxy, you can search it from the data library, and the Sky Map will find it for you. And it will display a coordination system on screen to tell you where you should turn to find that galaxy. When it comes into you view, Sky Map will make it bright. All in all, this creative application will not let you down.

As a miracle product of Google, Google Sky Map has got many people's attention once it was launched. Everyone is attracted by its amazing function. The new version also added the time travel function and picture library function. Those new functions are liked by every astrophile. However, the galaxy pictures are not enough.
