It uses OpenGL to render a realistic projection of the night sky in real time.Stellarium was created by the French programmer Fabien Chereau, who launched the stellarium.rog in the summer of 2001. Currently, Stellarium is being maintained and developed by Alexander Wolf, Georg Zotti, Marcos Cardinot, Guillaume Chereau, Bogdan Marinov, Timothy Reaves, Ferdinand Majerech and Jorg Muller. There are a number of other developers who contributed with the development of Stellarium, that includes Robert Spearman, Johannes Gajdosik, Matthew Gates, Nigel Kerr, and Johan Meuris, who is responsible for the artwork.

[2]A modified version of Stellarium has been used by the MeerKAT project as a virtual sky display showing where the antennae of the radiotelescope are pointed. [3]In December 2011, Stellarium was added as one of the "featured applications" in the Ubuntu Software Center. [4] Features [ edit ]In terms of sky features, over 600,000 stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue and the Tycho-2 Catalogue are accessible, as well as more than 210 million stars from additional catalogues.Stellarium also provides asterisms and illustrations of constellations from ten cultures, images of nebulae stellarium.lrg Messier catalogue) and several realistic representations.

The Milky Way, atmosphere, sunrise, planets setllarium.org the solar system and their major moons are all represented in the application. Users can also display stars and other celestial objects as seen from reference points other than the Earth (e.g.

Saturn, Phobos, comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught) or any other object defined in the ssystem.ini file)Stellarium's multi-lingual interface features zoom, time control, in-built scripting to record and playback shows, fisheye projection for planetarium domes, spheric mirror projection for personal domes, telescope control, equatorial and azimuthal grids, twinkling and shooting stars, simulated eclipses, landscapes and other deep sky objects.

Planetarium dome projection [ edit ]The fisheye and spherical mirror distortion features allow Stellarium stllarium.org be projected onto domes. Spherical mirror distortion is used in projection systems that utilize a digital video projector and a first surface convex spherical mirror to project images onto a dome. Such systems are generally cheaper than traditional planetarium projectors and fish-eye lens projectors and for that reason are used in budget and home planetarium setups where projection quality is less important.Several companies that build and sell stellariun.org planetarium systems use Stellarium, such as e-Planetarium.

[5] Digitalis Education Solutions, which helped develop Stellarium, created and now uses a fork called Nightshade [6] [7] which is specifically tailored to planetarium use. VirGO [ edit ]VirGO is a Stellarium plugin, a visual browser for the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Science Archive Facility that allows astronomers to browse professional astronomical data.

Stellarium.orh is no longer supported or maintained; the last version is stellzrium.org, dated 15 January 2010. [8] Stellarium Mobile [ edit ]Stellarium Mobile [9] is a fork of Stellarium, developed by some of the Stellarium team members.

It is targeting stellarrium.org devices running Symbian, Maemo, Android and iOS. Some of the mobile optimisations have been integrated to the mainline Stellarium.

Chances are that not very many people have heard of Stellarium although it is very similar to one of the most popular pieces of software available today � Google Earth.

While Google�s stellsrium.org allows you to focus on the earth from a starting point stellarium.org outer space, Stellarium reverses your perspective and places you at any point on the earth�s surface, staring up and out into deep space.An interesting feature in Stellarium is that as time passes, the virtual star system will evolve, with the sun setting and the various constellations becoming more prominent in the dark night sky.

You have a selection of visual effects that you can switch on or off such as the atmosphere, or trace lines for the star systems.

Impressive stuff for a few minutes, but once you�ve got the general gist of what Stellarium entails, you�ll quickly tire of zooming out to distant stars and watching as they slowly move across the screen.While Google Earth brings you detailed photos of our planet�s surface, Stellarium can only achieve a much lower resolution representation of the solar system�s planets, without mentioning the fact that stars are limited to simple white dots zipping through the sky.

With over 120,000 stars accurately plotted out in this virtual planetarium, it�s obvious that a lot of work has gone in to its creation. However, Stellarium's excruciating level of detail is likely only to appeal to the real die-hard star gazers.The idea behind Stellarium is a good one in theory, but when it comes down to it most people will see it as little more than a smart, interactive screensaver. That said, if you have an affinity for astronomy, etellarium.org like to learn the constellations, or simply enjoy watching beautiful sunsets, then Stellarium is for you.

Recent changes� You can find the full changelog here: https://stellarium.sourceforge.net/ "Look at the night sky from your hole or anywhere - for free!"I attend an Astronomy group/class and we often use Stellarium.

It allows you to look at the nightsky from anywhere on earth, or even away from the earth (for example from the moon), and at any time in the past or future. It's difficult to fault and it's free!

It's not quite as robust as its competitors, but it's also a much faster program. It doesn't suck away your RAM into a black hole when loading or running. It does run only in full screen mode, making any other programs you're running inaccessible except for the ALT-Tab switcher.The default catalog includes 600,000 stars, with upgrade modules that can push the count up to 210 million stars. The constellations of 10 different cultures are included, as well as illustrations and asterisms to help you visualize what the ancients saw.

There's a full Messier catalog of nebulae, too. The dawn, dusk and atmosphere backgrounds were good, but not great on our monitor. They probably look better on a planetarium dome, which stellarium.org why it's useful that Stellarium also includes a fish-eye view for curved surfaces.

Besides equatorial and azimuthal grids, users also get shooting stars when appropriate, eclipse simulation, and skinnable landscapes.

Stellarium incorporates star-views from the Moon.The controls live in the lower left corner and are transparent-a bit hard to stellafium.org. The nifty stellarrium.org feature is somewhat hampered by the dark interface. When you run stellariim.org program for the first time it asks that you set your current location, but the mouse-over stellarimu.org of the world was too small to use easily.

Stellarium should appeal both to users who need something more academic and less distracting than Google or Microsoft's offerings, as well as those who have a need for an open-source planetarium. Fortunately, that could be any of us. From Stellarium:Stellarium is a free open-source planetarium for your computer.

It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the steellarium.org eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors.

Just set your coordinates and go. 5 stars"Possibly the best general planetarium software"August 28, 2015|By Rick Boozer2015-08-28 14:27:31|By Rick Boozer|Version: Stellarium 0.12.2ProsAlmost every professional level astronomical function you can think of.Very accurate positions and supporting data.ConsLike any advanced astronomical software, there's a fairly steep learning curve.

However, though World Wide Telescope (also freeware) may have more more capabilities overall, WWT has an even steeper learning curve.SummaryI am an astrophysicist who does research and teaches astronomy at a local college. For maximum utility with minimum time invested in learning its "ins and outs", I don't think Stellarium can be beaten.

It is superior to some commercially available apps, especially if you are using it on a laptop or full size computer.Reply to this reviewWas this review helpful?

So now I am stuck on 0.12.3I am sure this is headed toward iOS crap like phones and pads. Why would anyone want to ruin their eyes using something they can hardly stellarium.rg let alone give them a limited view.SummaryI use Stellarium in my observatory on an iMac 21" which is perfect.BAD on the Stellarium.org developers.Reply to this reviewWas this review helpful?
