The Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets, asteroids, supernovae, and satellites.įor students and teachers, it supports adjustable simulation speeds in order to view phenomena that happen over long timescales, The display includes up to 100 million stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects, all 8 planets, It provides an accurate graphical simulation of the night sky,įrom any location on Earth, at any date and time.
KStars is free, open source, cross-platform Astronomy Software.
Internationalised - Translated so far to English, German, Spanish, French, Catalan and Slovenian. Scriptable and extensible - Use Python to script and extend the capabilities of the Gaia Sky.
Record and play your camera paths - Ready to record and play camera paths off-the-shelf. Navigate the galaxy - Support for controllers and gamepads makes navigating the Galaxy a piece of cake. SAMP aware - Implements SAMP commands to interoperate with SAMP-ready software such as Topcat and Aladin. Real-time filters - Filter any dataset by distance, magnitude, galactic, ecliptic, equatorial coordinates, and more. Supports VOTable, FITS, CSV and others (STIL). Use your data - Bundles Gaia DR2, NBG, SDSS and MWSC. Planetarium projection mode - Ready to produce videos for full dome systems. 360 mode - With sperhical (equirectangular), cylindrical and Hammer projections. 3D-ready - With 6 stereoscopic modes: Anaglyphic (red-cyan), VR headset, 3DTV (H and V), cross-eye and parallel view. Planetary surfaces - Explore surfaces with elevation maps (using tessellation, if available). 6D exploration - Represents star positions but also proper motions and radial velocities, if available. Virtual Reality - The whole Universe in VR! Gaia - Observe Gaia in its orbit and discover its movement in the sky and its attitude. From Gaia to the cosmos - Move freely through the cosmos or explore the Solar System in a seamless manner! Contribute to the development and translations. Free and open source - Gaia Sky is open and free, and will stay this way. In the Gaia group of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH, Universität Heidelberg). It is developed in the framework of ESA's Gaia mission to chart about 1 billion stars of our Galaxy Gaia Sky is a real-time, 3D, astronomy visualisation software that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.
