Stellarium is a real time, 3D photo-realistic virtual planetarium.
It features a catalog of over 600,000 stars, it displays constellations, has a powerful zoom, offers time control, fisheye projection, telescope control, displays equatorial & azimuthal grids, shooting stars, eclipse simulation, skinnable landscapes, it is highly customizable, and more.
If you have ever looked up at the heavens and wondered what is up there then Stellarium is for you. It offers so many functions that you could spend a month just learning them all.
It can be used like a telescope, or you can use it to create a spheric mirror projection for your own dome.
If you want information about stars or planets it is all there, and you can set it for any location in the world you want. There are add-ons and plug-ins you can get for this program that enhance it even further.
Words cannot express the awesome wonder of your own glimpse into outer space through Stellarium with you in full control.
Stellarium is impressive from all angles. It did everything demanded of it, and did it easily.
We loved!
