Around 20% of our respondents acknowledged using star charts or apps to identify some stellar objects, manifesting the influence of accessible modern technology in enhancing our astronomical explorations. 'Sky Guide', 'Night Sky', 'Star Walk and other such apps serve as digital sky maps, enabling users to identify stars, constellations, planets, satellites and galaxies.
Interestingly, our poll also revealed slightly more participants trying to learn identification techniques than those who can identify a few stars or celestial objects. This could speak volumes about the innate human curiosity and our continuous quest for knowledge, not leaving even the sky untouched.
