What is Night Sky?
Night Sky is an astronomy and planetarium app for Mac that helps users explore the night sky in an interactive visual view. It is designed for people who want to identify celestial objects, learn about constellations and planets, and follow notable events such as meteor showers or satellite passes. The Mac version brings a larger-screen experience for researching the sky, viewing saved tours, and syncing favorites and notifications with compatible Apple devices. Users can browse sky maps, look up objects, follow guided tours, and use local stargazing information to plan observation sessions.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Night Sky is a legitimate astronomy app. Location access is a normal request for this kind of software because it needs your position to show an accurate view of the sky and local events. Some features may use internet access for synced content, updated satellite information, and current stargazing data. If you use syncing or notifications, review those settings in the app and macOS privacy controls so the app only has the access you want it to have.
Recommendation: Keep Night Sky if you use it for astronomy, education, or skywatching on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually straightforward and mainly affects your saved app data, synced settings, and local preferences for this app.
