Congratulations! You now have a copy of SkyGlobe 3.5, the fast, fun, and
easy astronomy program. SkyGlobe 3.5 is the fastest program of its kind
available, and provides a realistic and beautiful display of the splendor
of the heavens. You can instantly change your computer view of the cosmos
to suit your own tastes, or use one of the many animation modes to simulate
celestial motion. Use SkyGlobe to plan a night's viewing, teach yourself
about the universe around us, or just to show off the graphics of your
computer. SkyGlobe displays 25,000 stars, constellation lines, the planets,
Sun, and Moon, the Messier Objects, the Milky Way, and ecliptic, horizon,
and RA-Dec grid lines, for any time and date, from over 230 locations
around the world. Viewing direction can be quickly changed with easy
keystrokes, so quickly that the effect is just like turning your head.
Zoom in or out in the blink of an eye, or use the handy Turbo mode with
Zoom to create a warp factor-like effect of racing through the stars. The
mouse will constantly tell you the locations and names of bright stars,
or use it to re-center the display at any point of interest. Stars, planets,
constellations, and Messier Objects can be located through menus. Try the
nifty Sidereal Time mode to preview the movements of your favorite planet
for the coming months. Learn the constellations by turning the lines on
and off, and see if you can see the shapes the ancients saw. There is no
better or more beautiful way to use your computer to educate yourself
or your children about the wonders of the night sky. Many more commands
and features are in the SKYGLOBE.DOC file. Enjoy the program!
