I personally like Celestia better than Stellarium. It's been long since I used Stellarium. Hope they have improved things and several issues. I'll have to try stellarium again to see if they have... Celestia lets u go to several stars in the visible universe. They've included details of almost all extraterrestrial objects. You can even get up close and personal with some spacecraft. like ISS / Hubble / MIR etc. If you go far off enough the solar system, you can even meet the long dead Cassini.. ;-) Check it out : http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ -- Warm Regards, Yogesh. http://tinyurl.com/yogeshg1987 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
