Starry Night Simulations
Research confirms that Starry Night simulations are essential for student comprehension of space science concepts. The awesome vastness of the Universe is fully replicated with Starry Night's desktop planetarium software, drawing students into a dynamic world that can be difficult to teach in a classroom setting.
This video gallery showcases a VERY small portion of the visuals that you can display using Starry Night. This powerful simulation software allows students to position themselves anywhere on Earth or in space at any time -- past, present or future.

View the classical illustrations of the 88 constellations and learn the stories behind their names, a great way to remember groups of constellations. Identify and use asterisms (star patterns found within a constellation) such as the Big Dipper, as starting points to find constellations.

See Jupiter's four largest moons as they orbit Jupiter. As you watch, one or two may, at times, appear to be missing. They're still there, of course, either behind Jupiter or crossing its planetary disc. Starry Night allows you to predict these events so you can plan your planetary observing ahead of time.

Travel thousands of years backward and forward in time. See the shift of the north celestial pole, or the changing shape of the constellation patterns. Go back in time to see how the sky looked like on the day you were born.
