Ms. Riding Hood Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 A friend shared this with me. I'm not sure of all the ways you could use it, but I will use it for star watching. In the panoramic view you can plug in your latitude/longitude and time zone and it will give you your stars as they appear in the sky! At any rate, it's kind of fun to play with. :001_smile: Interactive 3D model of the solar system: http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celestia It has to be downloaded, but it has lots of great features. The demo was done on a big screen TV, which made it even more cool.
