AstroViewer

AstroViewer gives quick orientation in the night sky. The AstroViewer planetarium software displays an interactive sky map for any time and any position on Earth. It allows you to find out the names and other information about the celestial bodies (stars, planets, etc.) on the display, find celestial bodies and constellations and print out a sky chart. A 3D-map of the solar system can be displayed as well. As AstroViewer has an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface, it fits well to the demands of astronomy beginners. AstroViewer comes along as an applet for the free online use on the website, and as shareware to download for the offline use.
