Material Detail

'With the Wolfram Stars Reference App, you'll have access to real-time data on over 100,000 stars. Compute your favorite star's sky position, find out when it will rise next, and perform advanced calculations. - For easy browsing, stars are sorted into groups such as the Northern or Southern Sky Stars; Brightest Stars; Nearest Stars; and Giant, Supergiant, and Main Sequence Stars - The Star Lookup allows you to enter any star name in the input field - Examine and compare properties for each star, such as its magnitude, spectral class, temperature, mass, lifetime, and distance from Earth - See the star's position on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram - Compute the star's current sky position from your location, find out whether it is visible, and learn the times of the star's next rise and set - Perform advanced astronomical calculations using the Stefan–Boltzmann law, Wien's displacement law, blackbody luminosity, and mass-luminosity relationship The Wolfram Stars Reference App is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education.'
