1 Celestia is a space simulation that lets you explore the universe in three
2 dimensions.
4 Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of
5 the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000
6 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
8 All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you
9 explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to
10 spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it
11 simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
13 Celestia is expandable. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies,
14 planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that's not enough, you can
15 download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.
