*** Stellarium 0.9.1 ***

 

What is Stellarium?

Stellarium is a software project that allows people to use their home computer as a virtual planetarium. It will calculate the positions of the Sun and Moon, planets and stars, and draw how the sky would look to an observer depending on their location and the time. It can also draw the constellations and simulate astronomical phenomena such as meteorshowers, and solar or lunar eclipses. Stellarium may be used as an educational tool for teaching about the night sky, as an observational aide for amateur astronomers wishing to plan a night’s observing, or simply as a curiosity (it’s fun!). Because of the high quality of the graphics that Stellarium produces, it is used in some real planetarium projector products. Some amateur astronomy groups use it to create sky maps for describing regions of the sky in articles for newsletters and magazines.

To my mind , selling FREE open source software on BOB is never a good idea unless you post a a CD to the buyer. I quote from the www.stellrium.org website: Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. Once bitten....
