I have been using it for a while now and it is great. Hats off to Chris Laurel.I find it invaluable in showing friends and family who do not know much about astronomy, just where everything is and how it works together in our galaxy.Daniel Muehlebach (CYCW)

11 MB is only the beginning, my friend... Next you'll want the hi-res planet textures, updated star databases... :)Glad I've got a computer that can run the thing in full 1600x1200 hi-res. :) BEAUTIFUL.

Playing around with this program almost brought me to tears at the beauty of our universe, and made my problems in this life embarrassingly petty and small.
