Google sky map API for android and iPhone

I want to develop an application in iPhone and Android both which can display the details about the position and location of planets in the universe. Surfing google I have come across Google Sky Map. But I am not finding any resource or API to do this. So please suggest what can be done to do this. Is this thing possible? Also I have seen some apps on itunes and Android that already possess this kind of functionality but I am not sure about how they must have done it.

There is no API for sky map. The apps on the stores have their own private databases of interstellar data. You might be able to find such a database somewhere online, but I doubt it will be free. One option you have is making a script to crawl Wikipedia and retrieve the star statistics from that.
