Exploring Space with Celestia

,----[ Quote ]
| I've found Celestia to be a lot of fun and extremely educational. My two sons 
| enjoy being able to visit the planets in our Solar System. As a parent, it's 
| satisfying to navigate to a planet on the computer and hear one of my sons 
| exclaim, “Ooh, that's Saturn!”

Fun with free software astronomy

| Being a devoted backseat observer to the evolution of the Universe in
| general and GNU/Linux software in specific, I thought it was time to
| show off what I consider to be the elite of desktop elegance.

Free/Open-source Astronomy Software

,----[ Quote ]
| Astronomy, considered as one of the oldest sciences, is the scientific study 
| of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and 
| phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic 
| background radiation).

| Conclusion
|
| I haven't really discussed the details about what type of information 
| Celestia shows you. Obviously, you can set it to label stars, orbits, 
| planets, and other bodies; it will tell you the surface temperature and 
| luminosity of any object, its distance from any other object, and what class 
| planet or star something is. This is all really great information for 
| astronomers, and I have no doubt that this software will serve as a useful 
| tool for anyone in that profession or field of study. But Celestia is great 
| even for those who are just interested in space and the Universe. Celestia 
| lets travel millions of light years without ever leaving home
