Stellarium 0.19.2

Stellarium brings a planetarium to your computer’s desktop as realistic as a 3D real one you get to see with the naked eye or with a telescope. After the installation, all you need to do is set the coordinates and enjoy. With a catalogue of over 600, 000 stars and the possibility to update the database, this application empowers you to see asterisms, constellations (of over 15 different cultures), nebulae, planets, satellites and a realistically rendered Milky Way.

In terms of technical features, the program is fitted with a powerful zoom, time control and plenty special effects, such as twinkling or shooting stars, cosmic events simulations, the possibility to add artificial satellites and skin-able landscapes.
