Hope you get this. I love the stellarium program. I just have 2 suggestions:
In my opinion;
1) It would be neat to see the folklore of the greek,roman and mayan perspective.
2) It would be more beneficial and easier to view specific cities if the country of origin was listed first in locations. Or if you typed a country in it brought up all the cities included.
Great program!
Thanks!

Hello! I have found a discrepancy in Stellarium's representation of the Precession of Equinoxes. The Sun should be in the location in 25,722 years (or 25,920 if you go by older standards) from now. It is not -- it takes 26,500 years for that to manifest. Starry Night Pro has the same issue, although theirs is off by 4000+ (!!) years. My email address is kairologic@gmail.com, and I am the head of the Heaven and Earth blogspot. Please get back to me through either of those channels if you can; I found your blog here through the Stellarium website and was in need of someone to contact. Thanks for your help.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour Stellarium! Quarante jeunes ados, dont je m'occupe dans un Village pour enfants en Ouganda, et moi-même avons adoré notre étude du ciel nocturne grâce a vous. Plusieurs soirées sous les étoiles juste au dessus de nos têtes a l’équateur nos ont ravis. Merci encore.
ReplyDeleteI wish to know IF STELLARIUM HAS BEEN CALIBRATED TO THE ACTUALLY STARS IN THE HEAVENS, IF SO, TO WHAT ACCURACY CAN WE RELY ON THE INFORMATION THAT THE PROGRAM PROVIDES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TALENT.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI just found the Stellarium webpage and would like to download a version. Which version will run on Mac OS X 10.9.5? The requirements listed on the page ask for 10.10 or up, but I suppose that's for the latest version (0.18.2). But what about 0.17 or 0.16
