You can also completely reprogram your controls and control response. The graphics and customization are only as limited as your imagination. Flexible and Open License Software 3DAstronomer™ is proudly part of the Open Source initiative, and released under the terms of the GPL.
3DAstronomer™ is committed to staying ahead of the game, bringing its users cutting- edge astronomical discoveries.
Now You Are In Control The added bonus is that 3DAstronomer™ is based on OpenGL graphics rendering. This means the program can really do just about anything and make it look realistic. 3DAstronomer™ is one of the first commercial space applications that gives you complete control. This means you can dig deeper into the game and create your own graphics including: planets, stars and even spaceships.
You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars and even beyond our galaxy. 3DAstronomer™ uses information that the European Space Agency gathered data during a four-year satellite mission, including precise solar system astrometric and photometric measurements.
Data based on the Hipparcos Space Astrometry Mission View Earths night lights, actual planetary orbits, well known constellations, comets and even a solar eclipse The comprehensive user guide will have you up and running in no time Guided tours that are full of fascinating facts that will keep you entertained for hours All from the thriving Open Source Community, this software is forever changing Complete Source Code Available (gives you more control and the ability to modify the program to suit your needs) Multi PC License - This can be used on as many systems as you want.
