Portable Stellarium

The lightweight factor of the app has been improved with said portability since it was already pretty easy on PC components.

The program does sport a pretty modern interface. It will kick into full-screen mode just as you launch the app. There won't be any stutters or glitches since the program seems to have been developed quite well. Dedication is certainly something the developers of this app did not lack. The program's menus are clear. You can choose to enjoy many types of simulations, if one may call them that.
