Deep Space Explorer by Imaginova

Description

From the Starry Night family of astronomy software products, Deep Space Explorer is the first program for the home user that accurately models the wonders of the universe in all their three-dimensional glory. Astronomer Brent Tully has compiled a new database of 30,000 galaxies, which has never before been available in a desktop astronomy program. Each of these galaxies is sized, positioned, and rotated correctly, allowing users to see the clusters, filaments, and voids that dominate the large-scale structure of the universe. A special “spaceship” mode lets users fly through this strange world, traveling hundreds of millions of light years from Earth.

Complementing the three-dimensional simulator is Deep Space Explorer's special media player, which explains the workings of the universe in more than an hour of live-action video, narrated by Star Trek: Deep Space 9 actress Chase Masterson. Learn about extrasolar planets, the formation of our solar system, and much more.
