Check out Stellarium
Saturday, May 13th, 2006Last week, I found Stellarium a multi-platform easy-to-use program. the experience was excellent! It was so smooth to whip it around, adjust the magnitudes to match what I could see, and spot things in the sky that I had only read about in science fiction. I also like setting the clock forward and watching the stars spin. I now understand the “ecliptic,” which was always a mystery to me before.
