Stars 3D

Description

Images and photographs in particular can play a decisive role when learning new information and this is especially poignant when it comes to astronomy. Telescope imagery is the "portal" for users' personal exploration of stars and galaxies. Stars 3D was designed in order to provide one with a scenic "journey" across the Universe, through the aid of several satellite photographs of stars, constellations or even nebulae.

As with similar apps from this developer, Stars 3D will always be initialized in full-screen mode, and to those who enjoy multi-tasking or working with several windows opened simultaneously, could not appreciate this.

Nevertheless, when going past the initial impressions, users will be able to discover that the app carries an internal library with 31 stars, constellations, galaxies and nebulae. All are easily accessible using the on-screen scroll list.

The imagery present in the internal database is average in terms of image characteristics. Not the highest resolution out there, but certainly does the job at providing a good overview of the features that are being depicted.

The information that is provided onto each image covers feature name, type, distance from Earth and corresponding constellation, where applicable. That might not seem too much for the more advanced user, but for those who are just getting into astronomy is a decent amount of details.

Although offering limited actual information about stars, constellations or nebulae, this program could be a great asset to have for those who find themselves wanting to view telescope imagery and also learn basic facts about various celestial features.
