Watchers of all sorts and space travelers: this iphone app is a must for your urban space odyssey. With the new gps capability of the phone, you just aim your Star Trek tri-corder into the sky and it outlines the celestial mosaic for you, name, coordinates and all. Looking to catch a ride on a passing comet? To figure out where to aim your ship if Venus is in your vacation plans? This app will help you.
Further evidence that Star Trek is becoming a reality. Who is laughing now, non-Trekkies?

First the GPS Odyssey through Brooklyn now this. I have to get the iPhone!
It really is cool and works just like that picture. I tried it out on an easy constellation- Orion and it was as if my iphone really was peering into space from where I aimed it. you can click on the individual stars, find hidden planets… nerd drool….
