Why learn with Poppot?
SkyView identifies objects when you point your phone at the sky. Choose Poppot to practise recognizing them yourself: learn their shapes and positions, then look for the constellations without their lines. The goal is to need less help when you look up.
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.
