(Minimum recommended configuration: Android 6.0 with 1.5 GB ofRamminimum and openGL ES 3.0.) WinStars is a planetarium runningoncomputers, tablets and mobiles. It is a 3D simulatorthataccurately represents celestial objects at a given time. Italsoallows you to travel in our galaxy and its close neighbourhood.Athread dedicated to scientific news allows you to followanddisplay in the software the results of research currentlyconductedin astrophysics. New functions will be progressively addedin orderto convert the software into a pedagogical tool dedicatedto thediscovery of our Universe. Main features: - Visualise the skyas itwas 500 years ago or as it will be in 10,000 years! - Discoverthenames of the main stars or locate the constellations by movingyourmobile. WinStars will help you to identify the objects youarepointing at. - Are you looking for an object? Just type itsnameand let the software guide you. - Is Messier 31 observabletonight?Simply click on the galaxy and display its identity sheet.You willfind details on its visibility (rise and set times). - Thesoftwareincludes a huge database of billions of objects. - Eachobject hasa detailed card which is updated in real time (distances,rightascension, declination, azimuth, altitude and magnitude). - Itispossible to follow the trajectory of all the satellites inorbitaround the Earth and anticipate, for example, the passage oftheInternational Space Station (ISS) over your head. - Representswithprecision the position of the main satellites of Mars,Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. All you need to do is zoominginsufficiently on the main planet. - Also calculates the positionofhundreds of thousands of additional objects in our solarsystem(comets and asteroids). - Indicates the significantastronomicalphenomenons visible from your observation location. -Plots thecelestial equator, the ecliptic, the azimuthal andequatorialcoordinate grids. - Represents the orbits of the planetsin 3D. -Easy installation of additional modules. - Automatedsoftwareupdates. - Customisable landscapes. - Available languages:English,French, German, Russian, Spanish. The free version offersmost ofthe functions available, but the acquisition of a licenceprovidesan additional enhancement to the software: - Add the GaiaDR2catalogue containing 1.7 billion stars… up to the magnitude22!(internet connection required). - Explore the stars close toourSun. - Leave the Milky Way and visit other galaxies. Discoverthelarge-scale structures of our Universe. - Planetaryrenderingsurfaces in 3D with improved textures. - Displays theDSS(Digitized Sky Survey) digitized sky in various wavelengths. -Addinterplanetary missions.
