Dear star enthusiasts and night sky enthusiasts. We have news that we have been looking forward to for a long time. Today we present to you Universe2go+, the next generation of mobile stargazing. The popular AR handheld planetarium has been further developed to make the starry sky more interactive and even better to experience. Whether you are a hobby astronomer or a beginner in observation: Universe2go+ takes you on an exciting journey of discovery through the universe with new technology and improved design. It expands the reality of the starry sky with many additional digital information.

New horizons: The exciting innovations of Universe2go+

Universe2go has received a “+” in its name. We want to list the reasons for this briefly, because both the app and the star glasses convince with helpful updates.

1 You probably know it yourself, smartphones have become larger in recent years. Therefore, the new handheld planetarium now accommodates larger smartphones up to the maximum dimensions of 167x78x11 millimeters. With many models, you can even leave the phone case on the device.

2 A more intuitive design: When you open the menu, you immediately notice the change, because it has been completely redesigned. Instead of a list, it appears in a round and clear design that requires hardly any space. All information and settings are understandable and immediately accessible.

3 The newly implemented plate-solving technology ensures unparalleled precision in star recognition and has been introduced in addition to the existing sensor functions. What does that mean for you? In short, higher accuracy. The camera of your smartphone now takes on a significant part of the work. Together with the improved Universe2go+ app (for Android and iPhone), star patterns are analyzed and celestial objects are precisely identified. It is fascinating when the digital star images appear almost magically directly above the real stars.

4 We have also made adjustments to the controls. The star background of the virtual sky is no longer made up of simple representations, but of a naturally appearing graphic. All new features and changes provide an even more intense experience when you gaze at the stars on a clear evening.

The universe awaits: What Universe2go+ still offers

In addition to the mentioned new features, Universe2go+ offers a variety of other functions that are useful for every stargazer. With the gigantic integrated database (which contains the entire Hipparcos catalog with its 120,000 stars), you can travel wherever you want. For example, to all 88 constellations that adorn our sky. And even more: Explore the planets of our solar system or find over 150 deep-sky objects. All with sharply rendered images. Universe2go+ also has something for your ears, as an audio guide talks for a total of over 3 hours about planets, stars, and nebulae. Because the audio part was recorded with a professional speaker, listening is particularly enjoyable. The traditional mythology of the constellations is also not neglected. Did you know that the sky is full of stories? Universe2go+ is not just your ticket to the stars, it is a whole library full of interstellar information that you can experience live and even in color. This way, you will become an expert on our starry sky almost effortlessly. With the new Universe2go+, take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of astronomy – a combination of real sky observation and digital exploration.
