The Summer Sky

Visualizing the Universe, one pixel at a time.

Stellarium's Sky

This week I used the open source planetarium program Stellarium. I put a PC Only "Portable" version on your Class CD. If you haven't done so copy the Portable version from the CD to Your Flash Drive. Or go to the Stellarium Web Site and down load the latest "full" version (It's Free) For Mac, Linux or Windows.

Your homework is to "play" with Stellarium. If it's clear out, go outside and see if you can see (verify) what you see in Stellarium!
