Distant Suns - Invenias Caelum (May you discover the Sky)
Dear Customer !
Back in time!
For many years, Distant Suns - Desktop Planetarium has been among the greatest astro software packages on the market.
It started way back in 1987 also better know as the Amiga years when the author brought his Amiga home and wrote a truly stunning piece of program. It was named Galileo and had features never before seen on any personal computer available at that time. In 1988, Distant Suns was concieved and quickly became very popular, not just to amateur astronomers but to the untrained eye as well.
While preserving advanced features for the amateur astronomers, Distant Suns gave those with little experience, a chance to get started on a subject that have interested mankind for generations but because of the advanced nature of the subject kept most of them from really growing a burning interest.
Distant Suns changed all that and even though the development has really been running fast through the past 18 years, making it one of the most comprehensive and longest living desktop planetariums available, Distant Suns still stands for the same as it did then without compromising its original goal....to be as useful to as many astronomy lovers as possible, on all knowledge levels.
Distant Suns - more than just entertainment!
With Distant Suns 6, you are entertained all the way through but it certainly doesn't stop there. Imagine owning a time machine and telescope combined. The Moon changes phases, planets wander among the stars and constellations glitter against a midnight sky. Glide back a thousand years to see how southwestern heavens inspired Anasazi astronomers.
Gaze at an ancient English sky when the Stone Henge was new. View nights that inspired Egyptian Pharaohs to build their pyramids eternally aligned with distant suns.
Learn about Quasars, White Dwarf stars, our famous mythological constellations, distant minor planets or the exploration of our very own Solar-System. Sweep by Saturn and see the brilliant translucent rings before you take off towards Neptune or Pluto. Turn your view around and look back on your home planet which is now only a faint bluish star in space.
Give yourself a chance to learn about our solar-system in a way you never thought was possible. Do yourself the courtesy of teaming up with one of the best desktop planetariums available and let it show you the splendors of the night sky, show you how to create marvelous AVI movies, watching Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon or teach you about the heavens on very special occasions, like the sky above Titanic on the night of her disaster.
We have provided you with the necessary tool, it's now up to you to take it into use and out-live your ideas and dreams!
