Stellarium - Almost as good as a Telescope<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you like to gaze into the night sky, but can\u2019t tell a planet from a star here\u2019s a great free download to help you out.<\/p>\n

Stellarium offers a virtual view view of the night sky based on European Space agentcy data, but it\u2019s laid out just as you would see it with the naked eye or through a telescope.
\nOnce you have entered in your location you can simply use your keyboard and mouse to navigate the night sky, quickly identifying and even zooming in on objects to see what and where exactly they are.
\nThe program operates in real time so no matter what time of night you\u2019ll always see the sky on your screen as it is above.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find Stellarium as a free download by following the link at www.stellarium.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
