Publisher review:Stellarium is an free and open source cross-platform desktop planetarium for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux/Unix.
Stellarium is capable of rendering the skies in realtime using OpenGL, which means that the sky will look exactly like what you see with your binoculars, a small telescope or your eyes.
Stellarium is very easy to use, which is one of its biggest advantages: it can be used even by beginners with no effort or problems.
Stellarium comes with a complex set of features including over 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue with name and detailed information for the brightest ones, drawings of the 88 constellations with their names, planets in real time, with a powerful zoom mode to see them like in a telescope, time control (real time and accelerated time modes), grids in Equatorial and Azimuthal coordinates, and clickable stars, planets and nebulas with information.
Requirements:
- A 3D Card with support for OpenGL
Operating system:Mac OS X 10.6 or later
