Why learn with Poppot?
Sky Tonight helps you choose what to observe and when, with its calendar and stargazing forecast. Choose Poppot to build your own landmarks: learn one constellation, use it to find another, then practise finding both again.
Reconstruct the shapes.
Select the stars yourself to rebuild each constellation. You practise remembering its shape, not just reading its name.
Find your way through the sky.
Follow Orion’s Belt towards Sirius, then find Canis Major. You learn to move from one landmark to the next, among the surrounding stars.
Remember what you learnt.
Your results guide spaced reviews. You revisit the constellations over time, with mythology and astronomy giving the shapes meaning.
Before, you see stars.
After, you recognize constellations.
The sky hasn’t changed. The way you see it has. Learn to recognize Orion, Taurus, Gemini and Canis Major with Poppot, so you can find them again without your phone.
