Information about “SILICON SKY”
SILICON SKY is a planisphere that lets you study the night sky as it
appears in any region of the world, looking in any direction, and as it
appeared on any date you select. It offers two viewing options,
Stars+Solar System Objects and Planetarium. There's even an optional
cricket sounds accompaniment!
The program paints the stars on the screen for most horizons. Then two
menus are available so you can request that solar system objects and
constellations be highlighted. Specific planets and the moon are
circled, and constellations are drawn in with dotted lines upon request.
