StarStrider
Visit the stars in 3-dimensions! StarStrider is a fully three-dimensional star map using the 118 000 star Hipparcos catalogue compiled by the European Space Agency. With StarStrider you can navigate in this space using the mouse and the keyboard. Relativistic space-time effects such as aberration and Doppler are shift optional! If you also have ordinary red / blue 3D-glasses you also have the option of seeing the parallaxes directly with your own eyes! The latest 3D-accellerator hardware is supported giving you ultra-smooth frame rates with near-photo quality rendering. Our Review: Wow! The Hipparcos catalogue out to 3159 light years containing 118 000 stars in one easy to use package which lets you travel around our stellar neighbourhood even at relativistic speeds - including doppler shifts and relativistic effects. StarStrider even lets you see in 3d with red/blue glasses and with direct3d support it just gets better!
