Suggested Long Description, (From Readme)
SkyGlobe 3.5 is the award-winning desktop planetarium that is fast, fun,
and easy to use. A perennial fixture on the Shareware Top Ten, SkyGlobe
is the fastest program of its kind available, and it 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.
All display settings can be quickly changed with easy hot-key commands, or
through the use of the mouse. 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 and other objects, 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 move-
ments 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.
