"Locate the Milky Way's Supermassive Black Hole with This iPhone App"

Galactic Compass is a new app that points users towards the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Developed by Matt Webb using ChatGPT and Xcode, the app features a simple interface with a bright green arrow that always points towards the galactic center. While the black hole itself doesn't emit light, its immediate vicinity is bright due to the superheated matter it pulls in. The app is a fun exploration of ChatGPT's capabilities and provides a global galactic perspective for users interested in astronomy and space exploration.

"Locate the Milky Way's Monster Black Hole with This iPhone App"

A new iPhone app called Galactic Compass, developed by Matthew Webb, uses ChatGPT to point users in the direction of the Galactic Center, where the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* resides. The app utilizes complex calculations and quaternions to locate the Galactic Center in relation to the user's date and location, and the 3D arrow on the app rotates in real-time in response to the device's orientation. Webb's collaboration with ChatGPT allowed him to build the app despite having limited app-building experience, making it easier for anyone with an iPhone to locate the center of the Milky Way.

"Revolutionary App Guides Users to Our Galaxy's Supermassive Black Hole"

Designer Matt Webb has created an iPhone app called Galactic Compass, which uses AI assistance to always point towards the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The app, which is free and available on the App Store, aims to inspire awe about our place in the cosmos and is the result of Webb's decade-long journey to teach himself how to locate the galactic core. With the help of AI assistant ChatGPT, Webb was able to turn his vision into reality, although the app currently has limitations in 3D calculations. Webb believes that Galactic Compass can help people ponder their place in the vast universe and recently peaked at #87 in the Travel chart for the US App Store.
