Why learn with Poppot?
Star Walk 2 already offers astronomy quizzes, videos and illustrated constellations. Choose Poppot if you want to practise finding the figures yourself: reconstruct them from their stars, then look for them among their neighbours.
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.
