Planetarium

Astronomy is the science dealing with all of the celestial bodies in the universe, including the planets and their satellites, comets, meteors, stars, and interstellar matter, star systems known as galaxies, and clusters of galaxies.


Planetarium is the premiere package for learning astronomy. It's user friendly interface includes breathtaking visuals that will introduce the universe to you in a way never possible before.

Planetarium contains accurate information on stars, galaxies, and planets complete with the scientific data and vivid photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. All of the objects shown on the Planetarium screen can be selected and clicked by using the mouse to display detailed information. Some of the special features of this program are:

Users can observe the sky, complete with stars, galaxies, comets, and nebulae from any virtual position in the world!
Planetarium has hundreds of locations pre-registered for observation.
Users can select a predefined observation location from a list.
Users can add a new observation location to the Planetarium.
20 Million stars included based on GSC (Guide Star Catalog) from NASA. The data base size is over 100 megabytes! Tips: Set the star brightness mode to "Auto", and expand into an area of the sky using the zoom tool. Auto-brightness will increase the brightness of the background stars to fit your current screen view!

Over 200 galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae are displayed.
Sun, Moon and the planets are shown with their 3D relative position displayed in real-time.
The phases of the moon can be displayed in real-time.
Users can add newly discovered comets into the Planetarium view!
88 constellations, complete with full multimedia presentations explaining the history and facts about each, including background music and graphics.
By setting Auto Mode, the changes in the sky view can be animated along a arbitrary time scale.

The sky can be displayed and updated in real time and is updated automatically.
The Planetarium view can be printed in high resolution.
An easy-to-use user interface with keyboard commands and mouse navigation.
Create your own observation conditions and save them for later reference!
Select several different ways to display objects in the sky.
Display information about an object by right-clicking on it with the mouse.
The Hubble Telescope pictures of the objects can be viewed with sound and animation.

Our Solar System can be viewed in 3D with an accurate positional representation of all planets.
Ambient light effects from the earthbound sources such as sunset, and sun rise can be added to give a more realistic view.
Both the Ecliptic and Equator coordinate systems can be selected for viewing.
