The
Stellarium application was developed to be free open source planetarium for your
computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked
eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just
set your coordinates and go. Stellarium is the popular Stellarium astronomy
program, so you can take your astronomical viewing settings with you. It has all
the same great features as Stellarium including constellation drawing, star
names, planet viewing, nebulae watching, and more. Plus, it leaves no personal
information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your favorite
astronomy program with you wherever you go.
Stellarium is a
free, open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D,
just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. You can
view the planets and gaze at the stars in stunning detail. Stellarium includes
vivid illustrations of the constellations and a theatrical display of ravishing
nebulae and galaxies. With Stellarium, you can transform any computer into a
stargazing centerpiece.
