Welcome to version 2.0 of NASA SkyWatch. Released in October, 2005, version 2.0 has added
several enhancements to the overall processing of the application based on user feedback.
The following list is a summary of updates for NASA SkyWatch version 2.0:
First of all, you will notice a more graphical user interface and point-and-click ability
to locate your city or town. Whether it be from inside the United States or international,
your city, or at least one close to you, is just a mouse click away. No need to select your
city from a pull down list if your town is on the SkyWatch map - although even more
international cities are still in the list.
If you live in the United States, a zip code data base has been implemented so all
U.S. zip codes are represented. Just enter your zip code and all the location data
will be filled out for you. Also, once you enter your zip code, SkyWatch will remember
your location the next time you use it.
NASA SkyWatch does, however, require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) v.1.4.2 or later,
32 megabytes of RAM (48 megabytes of RAM recommended), 256 color display, and 75 megabytes
of free disk space. To get the latest JRE, please visit
