Outer Space Program

[DangMan]

I think I saw a post in here about a free program like Google Earth but
it's for viewing stuff in space. I think it was called Celestial or
something like that. I've been trying like crazy to find it on a Google
search and can't. Anyone know of this thing?

I don't think you mean Google Moon so are you possibly thinking of Cybersky?
Not freeware AFAIK.

You're thinking of Celestia, which is sponsored by NASA.

The site is not working at the moment, but I just downloaded and
installed the latest version a few days ago. Most likely, they're only
working on their servers. I can't see them taking this site down.

Thanks for posting this, Susan. The home page at www.shatters.net hasn't
been loading for some reason.

I wonder what's meant by "NASA Customized".

It's been down for a quite a while now. . . can't give you an exact
date but it's been way more than a few days.

I haven't the foggiest.

Well, I can tell you that I accessed the site and downloaded the newest
version on March 23, 2006, so it's been down at most about three weeks.

I haven't the foggiest.

Guess I'll just have to give it a try and find out. And of course, for
those who already have Celestia, there's this page for downloading addons:

Don't forget http://www.stellarium.org/

Stellarium is a 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
