Viewing Celestia 1.6.1 For Mac

Whether you love astronomy or just want to learn more about the universe in a way that's different and interactive, Celestia makes for an excellent tool.
Celestia gives access to hundreds of celestial bodies flung in the farthest corners of the universe. The navigation panel takes you to these places in a quick and easy way – so sit back, relax, and calmly check out the cosmos during your trip.
Stars, constellations, nebulas, galaxies, comets, planets, and satellites are just part of what you can visit with Celestia. You can also trace the orbit around a celestial body or follow it through space.
Also, just like in a documentary about the universe, Celestia lets you create and run scripts in order to follow a preset path through space. Every place you visit will be explained by an identifying label.

  1. Celestia 1.6.1 for Mac The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
  2. Celestia continues to be great. On my 'old' G4 466 with a 16MB ATI Rage Pro it performs well enough to prompt me to buy a new video card;-P I've been following the progress of Celestia for a while now, The Mac OSX version still does not match the Windows version, but i know poeple are working on it.

Explore space in 3D with this application called Celestia. It is open-source, so you can download it for free (for Windows, click here).

Have you ever dreamt of being an astronaut? Or perhaps, you just want to know more about the different planets and galaxies. Celestia, which is free and open-source, lets you explore space in three dimensions. While it is available for multiple platforms, including Windows and Mac, we tested Celestia on a MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks.

The user interface in Celestia is filled with buttons and options for just about everything, so it definitely comes with a lot of functionality. New users can run the demo to see the earth, the moon and so on. One problem we had in our test was fullscreen mode (press Command+F on Mac), which did not work very well. Fortunately, everything else seemed to work without problems.

We are not astronauts or astronomy experts, but Celestia seems like a fantastic application if you want to study galaxies or planets. Since it is free, we think it is definitely worth a try. Amazing what you can do with computers today, right?
