Find the Moon in the Sky Without Guessing | Selene
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find the moon in the sky?
- Point your phone at the sky and the AR overlay shows exactly where the moon is right now — even before it rises.
- What if the moon has not risen yet?
- The overlay still works. That is the point of showing position rather than only what is currently visible.
- Is advanced AR alignment Pro only?
- Yes. Pro unlocks advanced AR alignment alongside unlimited time travel, weather-aware alerts and multiple locations.
- Does Selene need an account or track me?
- No. No account and no tracking; all astronomy runs on device.
The short answer
"Which way do I walk?" is a different question from "what phase is the moon", and it is the one you are actually holding the phone to ask.
Point your phone at the sky and Selene's AR overlay shows exactly where the moon is right now — even before it rises.
Why "even before it rises" is the important part
An app that only shows what is currently overhead is useless in the case you most want it: you are standing outside deciding whether to bother.
Showing position rather than only current visibility means you can find out in advance which direction the moon will appear, and time your walk to it.
What Pro adds
Advanced AR alignment is the paid part of this feature, alongside unlimited time travel, weather-aware alerts and multiple locations — as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Multiple locations matters more than it sounds: if you are not always looking up from the same place, a single location makes the overlay confidently point at the wrong moon.
