![]() Small to install and fast to run, Stellarium’s user interface is blindingly easy to use and smooth in. We think it’s one of the best, if not the best, astrophotography software around. It is also possible to visit other planets in the solar system - see what the sky looked like to the Apollo astronauts, or what the rings of Saturn looks like from Titan. iPad Stellarium Mobile is a planetarium app that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. Considering Stellarium is free, open-source software it’s surprisingly advanced and can be used on almost any device imaginable, whether portable or not. Stellarium has multiple sky cultures - see the constellations from the traditions of Polynesian, Inuit, Navajo, Korean, Lakota, Egyptian and Chinese astronomers, as well as the traditional Western constellations. Stellarium comes with a star catalogue of about 600 thousand stars and it is possible to download extra catalogues with up to 210 million stars. It displays stars, constellations, planets and nebulae, and has many other features including multiple panoramic landscapes, fog, light pollution simulation and a built-in scripting engine. Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL.
