that hold.
Wipe away the mist and match the proportions between the stars to name the constellations hiding in the night sky. Hunt for lucky balls, collect the airships you love, and earn a place for your name to cross other players’ skies aboard your ship. 108 airships, each hiding a different astronomy fact, waiting to meet you. Play, and learn what’s true: let every discovery teach you a little more about the universe.

✦ Place and time
Choose a place,
and let the night unfold from there.
the sky changes with the ground beneath you
Choose a city, or manually enter your latitude and longitude, then set a date and time. Starmoor calculates the positions of the stars for the place and time you chose and, together with the realm you picked, presents constellations for you to identify. Start from somewhere familiar, or change the place and the hour and watch how the sky changes.
Set your spot. Real astronomical positions in a hand-drawn style: the picture is not the same as what your naked eye would see from that spot.

Stargazing Night
Ten minutes under the stars. See which constellations you can name, and gather discoveries and stargazing score along the way.

Eternity in a Glance
A three-minute visit to the stars. Name constellations, earn stargazing score and look for lucky balls.
∞
Free Roam
No countdown, no stargazing score. Take your time with the mist and the stars. Leaving returns you to setup and mode selection, without the scored session’s ending sequence or stamp album.

Different sizes,
the same relationships.

02 · Compare
Compare the relationships
Look from the reference card to the sky. Which stars look close together? Which gaps are wider? See if the same pattern appears in both.
03 · Name
Name the constellation
Mark the stars you think belong together, then pick the matching reference card. That little shape in the sky has a name.
✦ How you know it's the one
Match the proportions,
not the size.
In the sky a constellation is big; on the reference card it is small. Notice which two stars sit close together, which gap is the longest, and whether these lengths and spacings form the same arrangement. When a set of stars is scaled up evenly, the distances change but the ratios between them stay the same. That is the clue that lets you find, in the sky, the star group on the card. No arithmetic needed. Look, compare, then confirm your discovery with your own hands.

✦ The jukebox
The music changes.
The stars don’t.
Pick a favourite track on the jukebox. Let a little music keep you company among the stars. Twenty tracks, four moods: piano nocturnes, late-night blues, ambient night and a small wooden organ. Pick a style to shuffle through, with no repeats within each shuffle cycle, or choose a single track.

✦ Lucky balls
The next discovery
may hold a little luck.
The board after settlement: who found it first.
1
Each round, two constellations are secretly set as lucky balls.
One from the northern pool, one from the southern.
2
Identify them in a scored session, and discover the luck hidden in this round’s sky.
The first stargazer worldwide to identify one is crowned.
3
They are revealed only when you find them, or when the round closes.
A round runs twenty to twenty-eight hours, and the board settles when it closes.
Keep following the starlight
This time, which constellation will you recognise, and what surprise will you meet?
✦ 108 airships
Take in a new ship, and a piece of truth with it.
108 airships in 18 families, each with a look of its own, and each carrying a different astronomy fact. Unlock a new ship and read a short, delightful astronomy note along with it. From the planets and the Moon to the journey of starlight and humanity’s explorations, the joy of collecting comes with something new to know. Your dock gains a ship. You gain a little more of the universe to wonder about. None give you an edge; they change your look: 108 ships, 108 facts.
The Ship Dock.
Astro fact
A new ship docks!A day on Venus is longer than its year — one spin takes about 243 Earth days, but one trip around the Sun only takes about 225.
Astro fact
A new ship docks!Saturn is less dense than water — with a big enough bathtub, it would actually float.
Astro fact
A new ship docks!Titan’s air is thick and its gravity weak — strap on a pair of wings, flap hard, and a human could theoretically fly.

✦ World Tour and the parade
Earn a seat, and let
your name cross
other players’ skies.
not in the parade? yours flies nearby
Build up stargazing score and aim for the global top three by lifetime score; or join the “World Tour” sealed-bid auction and aim to win it. The global top three by lifetime stargazing score and the winner of the latest settled auction all have the chance to join the parade with their ship and name; the auction winner can also bring up to three companions along, with each player appearing once. If you’re not in the parade, your own ship flies nearby. The parade shows the player name you have set. When your ship and name appear in the ending sky of players around the world, a stretch of your own stargazing becomes part of the view others see when they look up. Enjoy other players’ ships, and set out toward your own next appearance.

A sky full of keepsakes.
✦ Night’s end and the stamp album
A keepsake of your time under the stars.
When a scored session ends, watch the airship parade and the night sky flowing on as the dawn light spreads. Then look back at what you found this session, and stamp the constellations you identified into your album, with your ship and the studio’s red seal, leaving a card you can share. This is how Stargazing Night and Eternity in a Glance close; Free Roam is unscored and does not enter this flow. A shared card is composed on your device and never uploaded to our servers; your chosen sharing service may upload it.

look for these three stars
Spot a familiar pattern between the stars. Search an unfamiliar realm for lucky balls. Unlock a ship and meet a new astronomy fact. An “I found it!” can become an “Oh, now I see.” That is the kind of learning we hope to share. A happy discovery, and a little more of the real world to take with you.
