The main purpose of SKY-MAP is to integrate astronomical, astrophysical and other information about different space objects and astrophysical facts.
We want to achieve this purpose using the principle of visualization. When a person reads an article about stars, the stars are just an abstract concept for the reader. Without seeing the stars with their own eyes, people cannot feel the reality of the stars emotionally. We strive to create an extremely detailed star map to help everyone better understand the information collection about any space object and various phenomena related to these space objects.

Here is a list of functions implemented in the system:
The system can display about 500 million starry sky space objects.
The information of each object can be supplemented and edited.
Objects in place can be easily searched.
Users can upload photos of various areas of the starry sky and integrate objects on the map with those on the photos.
Implemented the first version of the API.
