Celestia


Yes, a spacial simulator open source!

This is one of that peaces of open source programs that i consider best then paying for certan programs, even though i don't know if there is one program like this available on the internet.

The program was created by a north american (fisicist and mathem.) for studying the universe, i mean:

Planets;
Moons;
Meteors;
stars;
asteroides;

and much more fantastic things that the unkown universe has to offer and we to discover, so, visit the page to get more intel/info.

I used this program once...it's really cool. You can fly into space and see the whole milkway (what's that in enlgish?) You can also zoom in and even see the International space station. Very cool program. And if i'm right it gets updated many times. Check it out.

^ The Celestia Motherlode is a repository for various addons like textures, models or celestial objects for Celestia. You can add many deep space objects like galaxies, messier objects, nebulaes... or spaceships from (for example) Star Trek, Star Wars, Odissey 2001, and many many more... A very very cool site!

Cheers!
