A free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with openGL
The Stellarium application was developed to be free open source planetarium for your computer.
It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go.
Here are some key features of "Stellarium":
· Realistic simulation of the sky, sunrise and sunset
· Default catalogue of over 600,000 stars
· Downloadable additional catalogues for up to 210 million stars
· Catalog data for all New General Catalogue (NGC) objects
· Images of almost all Messier objects and the Milky Way
· Artistic illustrations for all 88 modern constellations
· More than a dozen different cultures with their constellations
· Solar and lunar eclipse simulation
· Photorealistic landscapes (more are available on the website)
· Scripting support with ECMAScript (a few demo scripts are included)
Extendable with plug-ins: 8 plug-ins installed by default, including:
· artificial satellites plug-in (updated from an on-line TLE database)
· ocular simulation plug-in (shows how objects look like in a given ocular)
· Solar System editor plug-in (imports comet and asteroid data from the MPC)
· telescope control plug-in (Meade LX200 and Celestron NexStar compatible)
Requirements:
· A 3D openGL acceleration card and a good CPU.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
The main theme of this version seems to be localization:
· most of the text used by the default plug-ins is now translatable
· landscape names are now translatable
· country names are now translatable
· scripts names and descriptions are now translatable
Oculars plug-in:
· added an optional control panel displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen as an alternative to the pop-up menu that was used to control it in the previous version;
· overhaul of the pop-up menu, the underlined letters in it can be used as keyboard shortcuts;
· added the ability to rearrange the items in the lists of oculars, telescopes and sensors;
· fixed the inappropriate flipping of the binoculars view;
Satellites plug-in:
· fixed title bar of the Satellites config window not being resized with the rest of the window
· catalog numbers are now used to identify satellites, preventing bugs with duplicate satellites and satellites renamed in the source lists
