If you're into space exploration or planetariums...you'll LOVE this!

Celestia is a free planetarium program that does tons more stuff than many commercial programs do. It's great for getting your kids interested in astronomy... Check it out here:

pfff, you all should have downloaded this program ages ago like us TRUE SPACE HIPPYS (they seem to often update the celestia program too).

i dunno, i think i prefer the term "spacenerd". "spacehippy" sounds kinda like one of those ppl who think aliens are hiding behind comet X and are gonna come and take all the believers to planet good-vibes.
and i fully can't find planet goodvibes in celestia, it must be WAAAAAY out there. i'm not goin somewhere if i don't know how to hitch a ride back damnit.

i find celestia a VERY useful program. for instance, i use it to find the planets in the night sky before going outside naked* and looking at them planets with vegemite* covered binoculars.

when mars was really close, i went to celestia to see just HOW close . and lately you may have heard how a lot of the planets are visible all at once, you can check it out on celestia. (i like to use it to see what moons of jupiter are visible)

(in the latest version it also puts in the orbits of famous asteroids and interesting stuff like that)

*oh oh, it's happening again, THE VOICES!!!!

KEWL & DROOL!
