Stars and Galaxies in 3D 2.10

Use Stars and galaxies in 3D to easily view different galaxies and constelations.
Move and look in any direction. Easy to use with keyboard shortcuts and presets. 9,000 stars (all visible stars, plus lots of nearby dim stars) and 2,400 galaxies. Displays known planetary star systems. Find stars and galaxies by name, constellation, or distance and fly to them with a keypress.
Select stars by magnitude, distance, or spectral type. Select galaxies by distance or group. Galaxies span 325 million light years. Has an outline of our galaxy and constellation lines. See the constellations change as you move from star to star.
Presets allow you to instantly view constellations from near Earth, view all nearby stars (even stars too dim to see with the naked eye), view all available galaxies, view local galaxies, visit the center of our galaxy, view our place in the galaxy, and more.
Main features:
- You can easily move and look in any direction.
- Find stars by name or constellation.
- Fly to any star or galaxy with a keypress.
- Observe the stars and constellations from near the sun then watch them change as you fly to other stars.
- Make the known planetary systems flash so you will know where they are in the sky. Or, hover several light-years away from the sun and see where they really are.
- Select stars by distance, magnitude (brightness) and spectral type (color).
- Select galaxies by distance or group.
- If you were at Alpha Centauri or Vega, where would the Sun be? How would Orion and The Big Dipper (Ursa Major) look?
- Includes all visible stars and many nearby stars too dim to be seen with the naked eye.
- Uses OpenGl graphics.
- View the constellations from the Sun.
- View all stars out to 50 light years (both visible and invisible from earth) from the outside
- View all the available galaxies at once from the outside.
- View only galaxies near our own
- View our place in our galaxy
- Visit the center of our galaxy without the nuisance of an encounter with a singularity
- Watch the stars spin around you in a restful sort of way
- Watch galaxies spin restfully
