    Stellariun
    From: W F Jones

    Some of you may find the software Stellarium worth investigating and it is of course free.  I am
    amazed at how well the graphical implementation is.  I have only used Stellarium for a couple
    of days now and it has really impressed me.  One of the first things I tried was to look at the
    planets and their orbits.  It is easy to see Mercury (and Venus) are now far from the sun as
    viewed from earth.  If you zoom in on Venus, you can see it is now orbitally positioned such
    that a crescent exists (which is brighter than fully lighted).  It is easy to zoom in on Jupiter and
    look at it's moon's posititions.  This application will probably not be the most useful tool in your
    celestial navigation kit but I offer that most of you will find it a keeper.
    
    Go to  for more details and to download.  I have no financial or
    business interest whatsoever in Stellrium.  Now if only the persistently gray Rochester sky
    would giveway to good seeing . . .
