"New app! A compass that points to the centre of the galaxy"
(interconnected.org)
Only for iPhone bruh
Does this mean it points just back at the user?
Technically everyone is the centre of the observable universe.
Underrated comment 🔥
👌
Yea unfortunately I couldn't try it myself, but the write-up was fun
Waiting for someone to make a FOSS one for Android
You can just use Sky Map and search for Sagittarius.
What you actually want to search for is Sagittarius A*, but Sky Map doesn't have that, so the Sagittarius constellation is close enough to give you the general direction.
RA 17h 45m 40.0409s, dec −29° 0′ 28.118″
Here's a map: https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1835b/
Why so many upvotes for an advertisement?
I thought the write-up was worth sharing, the dev talks a bit about the process. The app itself looked free and it's labeled as not collecting any data, so I didn't think much of it
Although if there ARE concerns I'm happy to take it down
Spoiler alert - it points up.
Cool!
Where is Naboo relative to the centre of the galaxy? You guys did shoot on location, right?
