Description

Hold the Moon in your hands. Moon Globe HD turns your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a precision instrument for viewing Earth's Moon. Satellite imagery and topographic laser altimeter data are combined to render the Moon with realistic lighting in realtime 3D.

Use the multitouch screen to manipulate the view. Spin above the surface, or switch to Telescope mode to see the Moon as it appears from your location on Earth. Adjust the display time and watch the sunlight shift over the lunar landscape. A "tag cloud" floats just above the surface, labeling terrain features and spacecraft; touch any label to find out more about that feature. Moon Globe also shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky with its dynamic sky compass.

Please note: Moon Globe HD is a large download, featuring twice the map resolution of regular Moon Globe. If you just want to try it out, regular Moon Globe is a smaller download and is free.

PLEASE NOTE, SERIOUSLY: The HD version has the same features as the free version, just with twice the map resolution and somewhat better rendering. We go out of our way to make a free version available. We offer the HD version for connoisseurs - people who appreciate great apps. Unless that's you, PLEASE JUST STICK WITH THE FREE VERSION.

Please note: As Moon Globe HD requires advanced OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics, it does not work on older devices like the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, or 1st or 2nd generation iPod Touches. Regular Moon Globe works on those devices.
