Nā Hale Hōkū · AR Sky View
Point your iPhone at the sky and see Hawaiian navigation stars, their names, and the four voyaging starlines overlaid on the live camera view — in real time, anywhere on Earth.
What you'll see
Every major Hawaiian navigation star — their Hawaiian name, common name, and meaning — pinned to the exact position in the live sky.
Ke Ka o Māui, Iwikuamoʻo, Manaiakalani, and Ka Lupe o Kawelo — the four voyaging starlines drawn across the sky as your ancestors used them.
The Moon rendered in real time, showing its current phase and pō night — so you always know where you are in the lunar cycle just by looking up.
The Pleiades — Makaliʻi — highlighted during the Makahiki season, so you can find them rising at sunset and mark the start of the new year.
The view adapts to where you're pointing. Tilt toward the horizon, scan the zenith, turn in any direction — the stars follow in real time.
All astronomy runs locally on your device. Works offshore, in the mountains, on the ocean — anywhere you need it, with no signal required.
