Starry Night - Its a big world out there!
Whether you’re a budding astronomer with stars in your eyes or a more serious astronomy enthusiast you might be interested in checking out the Starry Night range of software. The versions of available software on offer from Starry Night range from “Starry Night Pro” for the serious stargazers amongst you, to cheaper, slightly more basic packages like “Starry Night Enthusiast”. These packages include some very cool 3D graphics along with seriously detailed information on constellations, auroras stars, planets etc.
Theres also 3D models of spacecraft for you to learn about. Also included are many images that are either very well illustrated or visualized using images from the Hubble telescope. The Pro version even includes the ability to control your telescope.
These are some of the best software packages available in the astronomy world and the list of features is far beyond the scope of a short blog entry, after all its a very big universe out there, even in our little corner of it!
