Publisher's Description

The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions.

Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
Celestia is expandable. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that's not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.

Celestia educational activities are available

Celestia volunteers have designed a complete set of educational lesson plans, using the graphics power of Celestia. The lessons bring you or your students deep into space in their own hyperdrive spacecraft and encompass over 40 hours of space journeys through the Celestia universe, to over 300 destinations. They are AWESOME for use at home or in classrooms. They can be obtained on self-installing CD or DVD for a nominal fee, or downloaded for free as individual zip files. For further details, visit
