Have you ever wanted to explore our galaxy in 3D? Perhaps fly around our solar system and view Earth, the moon, Mars, or some other planet up close? With today’s technology flying around our galaxy is really not that difficult, at least virtually. Since becoming an astronaut is out of the question for most of us, the next best thing is to explore space in the comfort of our homes, which is where space exploration software comes in very handy.
One such program is 3D Astronomer, which enables you to fly anywhere you like in virtual reality at any speed or in any direction. Best of all it can even travel through time, taking you far back with its historical data or further into our future. 3D Astronomer gives you a real time 3D view of our solar system, our galaxy and the rest of the known universe.
This piece of software is really amazing for learning more about Earth or any other planet in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even Pluto. You can easily travel to any of these planets and get all the relevant information and data you will find very interesting. It sure beats exploring Wikipedia in terms of concrete info and of course, it’s way more fun!
3D Astronomer also enables you to view all the constellations in our sky and learn exactly what they’re called and why. If you ever needed a way to impress a girl, showing her the stars is definitely one way to go at it! Another great feature of this application is the fact you can visit the Hubble telescope or even the International Space Station (ISS). Unless you have access to your very own plywood Hubble this is the next best thing to seeing it in person. ISS can actually be seen by naked eye from our planet, but it’s nowhere near as impressive as it is up close, and 3D Astronomer can take you there in an instant.
And if you prefer something less closer to home, you can “zoom” out and explore gigantic galaxy clusters millions of light years away. It truly enables you to see exactly how “small” we are in the grand scheme of things, and the experience is totally worth it.
3D Astronomer gives you the experience you want and provides our whole known universe for you too explore and learn about in a fun 3D adventure from as far or close you like. It has exceptional 3D graphics and animations of satellites, telescopes, space stations, and best of all planets, moons, stars, asteroids, galaxies and nebulae. Though extremely simple to use, it’s not a toy or a game but rather a serious 3D simulator and astronomical database used by enthusiasts and professionals alike.
If you want to learn more about our space be sure to check our 3D Astronomer’s website where you can download the software instantly. It’s open source so if you need it for more specific work you can use it, and although the software itself is not free it’s definitely worth paying for as it has an active community of users and developers constantly working on improving it and making sure it remains the top space exploration software there is.
