KDE

Install and run KStars on Android

KStars is a high quality planetarium program and at the same time a very powerful astronomy tool provided by the KDE Community. It is a free open-source software able to provide an accurate graphical representation of the night sky, from any location on Earth, at any date and time. The display includes up to 100 million stars with additional add-ons, 13000+ deep sky objects, constellations, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, all planets, the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids. As you know, nowadays, mobiles are an important part of our life and sometimes we are spending a great amount of time playing on our devices. During Google Summer of Code 2016, we brought KStars to Android. Therefore, this task aims you to install KStars on your Android device, play with it and find out how interesting it is!
