Sky-Map.org (or WikiSky.org) is a wiki and interactive sky map that covers over half a billion known celestial bodies.[1] WikiSky is designed, in part, as a wiki. As such users can edit information about different stars by writing articles, adding Internet links, uploading images, or creating a special interest group for a specific task.[2][3]
Wikisky can represents the sky with several surveys, including GALEX, DSS, and SDSS. In either mode, the user can access the name and a brief description of visible space objects. This can be used to access more detailed information, including articles and different photo images. It also has its own API so that code can be written to access maps, objects’ information and SDSS data.
