Richard – I like Stellarium lots. But I like Celestia much, much better.
Yes, that is also a great program. I’m glad you’re aware of it.
Nice homage to 2001 in your post title, by the way. Especially since Arthur C. Clarke just passed away. He was a great guy.
Wow indeed.
This connects to our recent tweets about the poetry of science.
Thanks for this.
