| Release info | Update on Nov 04, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Release notes | This update restores Astro Weather forecasts, improves search and the sky catalogs, and fixes several other issues reported since 8.1.1. BUG FIXES - Fixed Astro Weather forecasts failing to load. When the forecast couldn't be retrieved, SkySafari also kept retrying without pause; it now tries again only when you return to the forecast. - Fixed comet brightness for comets updated from the Minor Planet Center. These were predicted too bright when far from the Sun and too faint when close to it. - Fixed AirDrop no longer working after sharing an image from the Image Gallery until SkySafari was relaunched. - Fixed the Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) appearing twice, and the Triangulum and Cigar Galaxies showing their names twice. IMPROVEMENTS - Search now recognizes Bayer designations typed with Greek letters, such as "? Cas" or "?2 CVn", and SIMBAD-style abbreviations such as "alf CMa". - Find moons by provisional designation or Roman numeral, such as "Uranus XXVIII". Added Uranus's newly discovered moon S/2025 U 1. - Added "Methuselah" as a common name for the ancient star HD 140283, and corrected its spectral type and variability. - Updated for iOS 27. Thank you for using SkySafari. Clear skies! |
