Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.

A shooting star flashes past Jupiter. You can select different intensities in the View window.

Landscape made using some screen shots and data from the wonderful Celestia. Set the projection mode to stereographic, zoom out to a wide field of view and point down towards the ground to get the nice rounded "planet" effect.

Johan transformed this Mars image from NASA into a spherical panorama that can be used with Stellarium. Mars rover Spirit made this image during August 24 to 27, 2005. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell. Read more on this webpage.

Mars (Utopia Planitia) 0.9+
Ray CC BY-SA 4.0 English
The panoramic view of the landing site (Utopia Planitia of Mars) is a 360 degrees ring shot taken by the navigation terrain camera on the mast of Zhurong, the Chinese Mars rover of Tianwen-1, after correction and mosaic stitching. The image shows that the terrain near the landing site is flat, the Martian horizon can be seen in the distance, and the abundance and size of the rocks are consistent with expectations, indicating that the autonomous selection of the landing site and the implementation of hovering obstacle avoidance are effective. The Mars topography map is the first topography and geomorphology image map taken by the navigation terrain camera after the rover reaches the surface of Mars.

This view combines hundreds of images taken during the first several weeks after NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander arrived on an arctic plain at 68.22 degrees north latitude, 234.25 degrees east longitude on Mars. The landing was on May 25, 2008. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona/Texas A&M University. Read more on this webpage.
