sky map
Celestial position guide
A sky map is a chart showing the positions of celestial objects—stars, constellations, planets—as they appear from Earth.
Astronomers and amateur stargazers use sky maps to identify what they're seeing and locate objects of interest: The sky map showed Jupiter rising in the east.
Modern sky map apps update in real time based on your location and the direction you're facing.
