Voyager

Voyager 4 gives you a photorealistic textured horizon display - create a digital panorama of your own horizon, and show a realistic sky as it appears from your back yard!Stars are drawn with photo quality using a model based on real CCD star images. You can adjust the size and intensity of star images - or you can choose to display stars simply as circles, to generate an "old fashioned" star chart.Planets and moons are rendered realistically, using the latest imagery from NASA's Clementine, Magellan, Mars Global Surveyor, Galileo and Cassini missions, with super-high-resolution maps of the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Venus.
