Stellarium est una programma theatri planetarii libera pro computatorium tuae, gratis et cum codex fontanus non clausa. Ostendit unum caelum realisticum in 3D, sicut quod visis cum oculus nudus, binoculum vel telescopium.

Stellarum pluvia fulgurat ubi Iuppiter transeat. Potes ut intentiones diversae eligere in fenestra Ostensio.
