I used to have a telescope in my room but we got rid of it and now I wish I had it. This seems like a really cool app! Thanks for the tip Chris!

[...] A ten-gallon hat tip to Chris for posting about this.Â I love looking at the stars.Â But no matter how hard I try there are only few constellations that I can recognize right off the bat.Â I even earned my Astronomy merit badge in Scouts.Â That doesn’t stop me from gazing and wondering.Â It doesn’t stop me from wanting to teach my kids about the stars and planets.Â Well thanks to Chris … I can do it any time I want, and then go outside at night and really see what’s going on!Â Thanks to Stellarium.Â This app is justÂ freakin’ amazing.Â It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.Â It’s free.Â And the graphics, OMG.Â The graphics are just unreal, rather, very real.Â Everything you’d want to explore the night sky.Â Set where you are, draw the constellations for you.Â Rotate to the direction you’re facing.Â Zoom into distant galaxies.

I have used this for quite a while, when you pair it up with Celestia it rocks.

Have you ever download Celestia?

It’s quite similar I think. I even like Celestia, because you can customize your journey from one point to another.

, I was pretty eager to try it. I have always been a fan of stellar images as backgrounds for my desktops. I am also a big fan of the NASA Image of the Day. A few years back I was pretty impressed when Chris Pirillo mentionedStellariumbut when Mashable announced that World Wide Telescope was available. I immediately downloaded it. Folks if you haven’t tried this one yet, you must give this program a look. I am far from an expert stargazer but I have played with Stellarium,

a projector, you can set it to output a projection that you can show on your own planetarium (now you can tell your spouse that it was totally worth it to convert the garage!) or the ceiling of your dorm . . . wakka chikka wakka chikka bow bow. (viaChris Pirillo) (Written by: WilWheaton)
