Stellarium has been around for quite a while in the open source community. When used properly, it’s pretty amazing, too. You can zoom into the nebulae and have it produce animations, etc.:

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.
