3D star map / planetarium

StarStrider - your interstellar travel agent A dark and clear night can be quite an experience. Watching all these pale spots we call stars, and recalling that each of these stars are suns in themselves, makes us aware of the incredible distances between them. In fact, the stars are so distant that, until recently, we thought that they all were glued onto a giant celestial sphere. That's why the constellations always look the same, and that's why planetarium programs make you think the sky is two-dimensional. Not so any more. StarStrider will allow you to let your imprisoned mind free. With the help of StarStrider you will be able to travel to the stars and watch their alien skies. Ever seen the constellations from Sirius? With StarStrider it's possible! Go where no man's gone before. Travel to Vega and see how the Sun pales to a faint star, a star among thousands of others. Look at the Pleiades from behind! With ordinary red/blue 3D glasses your experience will be even greater. Now you can see the variable distances to the stars - without even leaving our solar system if you don't want to! Cassiopeia looks really different when you realise that the constellation isn't just a flat W. You'll also learn to appreciate the fact that the closest stars are not always the brightest.
