Ubuntu includes Stellarium in its repository.This repository contains scripts and resources for the Stellarium astronomy software. Stellarium is a freely available cross-platform program available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. This allows you to spot objects quickly and helps you learn about the night sky as well - even on cloudy nights.
By searching for Neptune in Stellarium, the planet, along with all surrounding stars and constellations, will appear in their real-time positions that match the night sky from your current location. Stellarium allows you to see what the night sky should look like. If you live in a location suffering from light pollution where only the brightest of constellations are visible, then a faint object like Neptune can be hard to find if not impossible. You can use Stellarium to find any celestial object. Stellarium can save the day…er, night…by providing the extra details not found on most star maps, so you can aim your telescope at exactly the right location. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more detailed information in order to pinpoint Neptune? Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer.
It’s night time, and Neptune is out there somewhere, but where? You possess your trusty star map, your telescope is pointed in the correct area, but Neptune remains elusive. Here are a few notes about my Stellarium explorations. I have been using this program for a number of years, and it has served me well. Packed with star facts and a slick, custom GUI, Stellarium is one of the best companions available for understanding the wonders of the night sky. Stellarium is a high-quality, open source program that acts as your personal planetarium. Are you an aspiring astronomer seeking greater knowledge of the heavens? Would you enjoy a quality software program that helps you locate celestial objects and provides information about them? If so, then Stellarium might become your next best friend.
