HOW TO CONSULT "ASTRONOMICAL EXPLORATIONS"
The first image that appears on the screen when you enter the
program from Windows contains four triggers:
- CREDITS
- AN INTRODUCTION BY ROSSANA ROSSI which illustrates the
contents of the scientific text using images and audio
- ASTRONOMICAL EXPLORATIONS which allows you to enter
the consultation
- EXIT
When the cursor, represented by an arrow, is over a trigger , it
changes its shape into a hand.
When you have to wait for the result of your choice, the cursor
becomes a galaxy.
To exit the program every moment, you can press the return button
or you can press the keys ALT-F4 simultaneously.
The MAIN MENU is composed by a representation of the Solar
System; by choosing a planet you enter a list of arguments you can
select. When you arrive to the photos related to a text, you can
enlarge them (button with a MAGNIFYING GLASS), read their
explanations, read a glossary of the principal scientific terms (button
with a BOOK), stop or enable the music which follows each photo
(button with a LOUD-SPEAKER).
A special trigger in the main menu is EXPLORATION, which allows
you to watch some full-motions.
