Stellarium

Hello All,

Image Source: Stellarium

Today I thought I would tell you about a cool bit of freeware for you star gazers out there called Stellarium! Stellarium is a brilliant planetarium software which allows you to star gze on your computer, from any point in the world. An example can be seen above.

I have only used/found this sfotware quite recently but it is really cool! As bonus to, the data you receive is not static but is dynamically updated. So for example – if you want to see where the stars are from the point of Tower bridge, Stellarium will give you an accurate view of where the stars are at that point!

Stellarium will even go as far as telling you the name and exact position of a particular star! There are loads of other cool things Stellarium offers, and I would encourage you to give it ago!
