  | CyberSky 4.0.4 |   | CyberSky is an accurate, yet easy-to-use planetarium program that provides an excellent way to learn about astronomy and explore the sky visible in the distant past, the present, and the far-off future. CyberSky can display and print attractive, highly-customizable maps of the sky as seen from your home, your favorite vacation spot, or any other location on the Earth. The program's clean, user-friendly interface makes it easy to identify the objects you see in the sky and find the objects you want to see.
CyberSky has a versatile animation feature that lets you watch astronomical events unfold at whatever pace you desire. This feature is not only a lot of fun, it makes the program very well-suited for astronomy education. Many of the most basic and interesting astronomical phenomena can only be seen over weeks, months, or even years, or by observing the sky from widely separated locations on the Earth. CyberSky lets you do this--it places the sky under your control.
CyberSky is used by people all over the world who want to become familiar with the objects they see in the sky, by amateur and professional astronomers who need a straightforward, uncluttered planetarium program, by parents who want to share their interest in astronomy with their children, and by educators who want to empower their students to learn in a way unimagined a generation ago. CyberSky has something to offer you, regardless of your level of astronomy knowledge. |

 | VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D 2.0 | | 4GB of Virtual Reality of the Red Planet Mars-3D... 6 quickly switchable resolutions of viewing Mars. Covers the years 2004-2007 of the MER-Mars Exploration Rover Spirit Mission... Take a virtual tour of the planet and get 3D views of surroundings or soil samples. In any panorama click hot spots, zoom in or out for details or wider panoramic views. See many Martian panoramas from any angle, craters, mountains, rocks, microscopic images and other features of the Martian landscape in an easy way... Use satellite maps for faster navigation or localization and easily access 3D images of the Red Planet. If you wish, you can watch it as a movie as well, just play demo. "VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D" is VRPresents technology-based hobby software on DVD, released by Sciterian Technologies, recommended for scientists and hobbyists interested in astronomy, cosmos, planets, solar system, space flights, science, galaxies, stars... It is a very useful presentation on the planet Mars, similar to a 3D game, containing not only visual Martian virtual reality data, but also a comprehensive information on Mars. It could be used in schools and other education related entities for teaching purposes. Because the application is really very interesting, it is recommended also for the wider public.
It is not just a simple image collection, but an advanced virtual reality presentation. Thanks to our VRPresents technology, you can watch the surface of Mars in the way like you were there yourself. This means that you have a freedom to move in any available direction. During this virtual tour you can use maps and even a compass. If you wish to see something closer, just zoom in or switch to a higher resolution mode. You do not need a spaceship to enjoy our solar system's red planet, just visit the high resolution VR world embedded into "VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D" Software.

 | LcStars 3.2 | | Astronomical planetarium in color and easy to use, with which you'll be able to contemplate 28,695 objects of the firmament and the phenomena and the most interesting astronomical movements of the past, the present and the future. You can observe the sky from any
Earth place, in the date that you determine (from the 12 hours of January, 1 of 4,713 A.C. until the 23 hours and 59 minutes of December, 31 of 7,999 D.C.), selecting the type of objects that you wish to see and there minimum magnitude. Also you can consult the position and other data
relative to 3,654 celestial objects, to locate them in the sky at any time, to animate the images to study the movements of the stars and the planets, to display inverted the image of the sky as it appears in the viewfinder of a telescope, to print any image of the screen and other many possibilities that you will be discovering as it is advancing in the knowledge of the program. |

 | Coeli - Stella 2000 6.03 | | Complete astronomy suite comprising a full-featured planetarium, observing log and list builder, Coeli Time Line, Live Orbits (orrery), location browser, Sky Quiz, and sophisticated searches embracing planets, comets, asteroids, DSOs, and up to 300,000 stars.
Planetarium effects include scintillation, extinction, refraction, and precession in point source, photo plate and spotlight display styles; along with the complete Messier catalog in image icons.
An integral HTML guide to the solar system, a 1000-term astronomical dictionary, and the 2nd revised and enlarged edition of Aspects of Astronomy -- a book-length primer covering topics such as "What are the Stars?", "Choosing a Telescope", "Cosmology", "Dark Matter", "Eclipses", and "The History of Astronomy", to name but a few -- are closely coordinated with the sky display and picture windows.
Stella 2000 talks and teaches aloud. With complete incorporation of Microsoft Agent speech technology, animated characters guide you painlessly through the pronunciation of a myriad of arcane star names and lore, and even read aloud from Astrogloss and Aspects of Astronomy, not to mention offering that most immediate form of program help: spoken guidance.
Stella's Drag Mode brings complete plasticity into all your interactions with the planetarium display. Dragging the mouse auto-scrolls sky quadrants smoothly and quickly into view from three selectable planes of reference: Horizon (local), Equatorial (atlas), and Ecliptic / Heliocentric. Stella provides direct links to extensive DSO and planetary information on the Web, all tightly unified with the Sky display, Reports, and the Coeli Solar Guide.
Auto-Search instantly updates readouts and reports on any object your mouse pointer scrolls over. You may even slew your Meade ETX/LX200 telescope to the object selected in Stella's sky. |

 | GrandTour 4.1 | | GRANDTOUR can simulate space as seen from the Voyager and Giotto spacecraft. In addition, GRANDTOUR can
generate scenes from arbitrary points in space or the Earth, with the
spacecraft visible to the observer. The planet, moons, and rings of
interest (or comet, nucleus, and tail), stars, the sun, and the
spacecraft are all accurately drawn with wireframe representations.
Hidden line removal is done for the body surfaces. The motions of the
bodies themselves are highly accurate, with errors no greater than 500
kilometers. The user has considerable control over the time step, field of
view, etc., and many frames per second are typically generated.
The program was originally developed at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory by John D. Callahan to assist in the analysis of science and optical navigation
data. In addition, the program was filmed by the BBC as part of a NOVA
documentary on the Voyager Uranus encounter, and by the Four Point
Entertainment Company for a commercially available video on Halley's
Comet. Program conveniently runs from any Windows/DOS.
