A science teacher of mine was displaying pictures of the solar system during the start of class and had to keep going back to restart the slide show. I told him about a program called Celestia. Heres a description from there site
Quote:Welcome to Celestia
... The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
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.
he has an iMac and I have windows. The file is downloaded as a disc image. This is the name of the file celestia-osx-1.4.1.dmg I am assuming that .dmg is a image format for Mac OS X? Can I burn this within Windows? Basically I have windows he has mac im downloading it and he needs it. How can is that possible or will there be compatibility issues?
