Application : Stellarium
What it is: 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.
It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and
go.
I personally like Celestia better than Stellarium. It's been long since I
used Stellarium. Hope they have improved things and several issues. I'll
have to try stellarium again to see if they have...
Celestia lets u go to several stars in the visible universe. They've
included details of almost all extraterrestrial objects. You can even get up
close and personal with some spacecraft. like ISS / Hubble / MIR etc. If you
go far off enough the solar system, you can even meet the long dead
Cassini.. ;-)
