This release of SkyView adds something extra special. Working with Audible, we’ve re-created the city on the moon from the new audiobook Artemis. Written by the author of The Martian, this high-stakes lunar adventure is performed by celebrated actress Rosario Dawson – most recently seen in the Marvel and Netflix series The Defenders, Luke Cage, and Daredevil. When you locate the moon in SkyView, you’ll see Dawson as Jazz Bashara, the heroine of Artemis and your “friendly” Artemis tour guide. Tap on her avatar to explore the moon-city of Artemis near the Moltke Foothills and Sea of Tranquility. Tap on the button at the bottom of the screen, and take a trip to Audible to sample the audiobook and learn more. Then return to SkyView because you’ve got so much more exploring to do.
