- COSMOS16.ZIP SVGA to Herc, professional Astronomy simulator
-
- COSMOS version 16.04 is a program which provides astronomical
- simulations the same way as seen in a planetarium. COSMOS will show
- the past, present and future skies as viewed from anywhere on Earth.
- The program will display the position (with real time updating) of the
- planets and comets in orbit around our Sun as well as calcu- late
- specific data about celestial bodies. COSMOS will even display the
- moons of Jupiter as they orbit the planet.
-
- Program options allow the user to select the date and time to view, the
- direction of view, the viewer's latitude and longitude on Earth, and
- much more. Using the display updating parameters COSMOS can display a
- complete day's movement of the heavens, or demonstrate the retrograde
- motion of the planets.
-
- COSMOS will run on any DOS based system (DOS version 2.0 or greater)
- which has SuperVGA, VGA, EGA, CGA or Hercules graphics and a hard disk.
- Microsoft Mice are also supported.
