Celestia is a free 3D astronomy program. Based on the Hipparcos
Catalogue, it allows users to display objects ranging in scale from
artificial satellites to entire galaxies in three dimensions using
OpenGL. Unlike most planetarium software, the user is free to travel
about the Universe.
This package contains a minimal frontend for Celestia. There is a separate
package that provides a frontend that integrates with GNOME.

gpredict:
Satellite tracking program
-
-
Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program
for the Linux desktop. It uses the SGP4/SDP4 propagation algorithms together
with NORAD two-line element sets (TLE).
Some core features of Gpredict include:
- Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical
memory and processing power of the computer
- Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination
of these
- Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own
windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode
- You can use many ground stations
- Predict upcoming passes
- Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and
backward), and manual time control
- Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes
- Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld
- Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld

kstars:
desktop planetarium, observation planning and telescope control
-
-
KStars is a scientifically accurate desktop planetarium, visualising a
graphical simulation of the night sky from any location on Earth, at any date
and time.
The display includes 130,000 stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects, all 8 planets,
the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids. KStars addresses
students and amateur astronomers of all levels.
The database of known objects can be extended and updated from local or
remote databases, which is prepared for in a user-extendable interface.
KStars suggests observations of particular interest like conjunctions
with respect to the location of the user. And for user-selected targets it
proposes the ones that are best-observable.
The software may be used for planning experiments around the globe,
e.g. for remote controlled commercial services. But KStars also
features an INDI interface to control local telescopes and cameras.
Users with programming experience can script it via the KDE desktop bus.

lightspeed:
Shows how objects moving at relativistic speeds look like
-
-
Light Speed! is an OpenGL-based program which illustrates the effects of
special relativity on the appearance of moving objects. When an object
accelerates past a few million meters per second, these effects begin to
grow noticeable, becoming more and more pronounced as the speed of light
is approached. These relativistic effects are viewpoint-dependent, and
include shifts in length, object hue, brightness and shape.
The moving object is, by default, a geometric lattice. 3D Studio and
LightWave 3D objects may be imported as well. Best of all, the simulator
is completely interactive, rendering the exotic distortions in real-time!

3D Universe Simulator
-
-
OpenUniverse (OU for short) is a fun, fast and free OpenGL space simulator. It
currently focuses on the Solar System and lets you visit all of its planets,
most major moons and a vast collection of smaller bodies in colorful, glorious
and realtime 3D. If you've ever had a chance to visit Mercury or asteroid
Geographos, here you'll find them looking exactly the same way, following
exactly the same path as when you've left them.
Notice that OpenUniverse is not actively being maintained anymore and that
users are recommended to use Celestia instead.

实时、逼真的星图软件
-
-
✏
Stellarium 渲染实时三维星空图像,如同照片一样逼真。有了 Stellarium,
您能看到和您的眼睛所见或者通过单筒/双筒望远镜所见的一模一样的天空。
软件的一些功能:
- 来自 Hipparcos Catalogue (依巴谷星表)的超过 120000 颗星体的说
明,包括最亮的主星的名称和信息
- 实时显示行星位置,并且可以像望远镜一样缩放星空
- 显示 88 个星座的名称和图像
- 显示 40 多个 messiers objects (梅西耶天体,如 Orion, M31 等..)
- 显示银河
- 显示地面、烟雾和地形
- 可以点击恒星、行星和星云,显示它们的说明
- 窗口/全屏幕模式
Stellarium 不适合用作高精度计算(例如轨道预测),但使用本软件进行观测
(类似肉眼或者望远镜)是很理想的。

Xplanet renders an image of a planet into an X window or a file. All
of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn, and different
map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, hemisphere,
Lambert, Mercator, Mollweide, Peters, polyconic, and rectangular.
In order to run xplanet, you'll need at least one map file. Some maps
are included in the xplanet-images package.

sunclock:
fancy clock showing time and geographical data
-
-
sunclock is an X11 application that displays a map of the Earth and
indicates the illuminated portion of the globe by drawing sunlit
areas dark on light, night areas as light on dark. In addition to
providing local time for the default timezone, it also displays GMT
time, legal and solar time of major cities, their latitude and
longitude, and the mutual distances of arbitrary locations on Earth.
Sunclock can display meridians, parallels, tropics and arctic
circles. It has builtin functions that accelerate the speed of time
and show the evolution of seasons.

xtide:
provides tide and current predictions
-
-
XTide is a package that provides tide and current predictions in a wide
variety of formats. Graphs, text listings, and calendars can be generated,
or a tide clock can be provided on your desktop.
XTide can work with the X window system, plain text terminals, or the
web. This is accomplished with three separate programs: the interactive
interface (xtide), the non-interactive or command line interface (tide),
and the web interface (xttpd).
The algorithm that XTide uses to predict tides is used by the National
Ocean Service in the U.S. It is significantly more accurate than the
simple tide clocks that can be bought in novelty stores. However, it takes
more to predict tides accurately than just a spiffy algorithm -- data are
required for every tidal prediction location. This package provides a
sample data set for only one location so you can try out the package, but
anything useful requires the data packaged in the xtide-data package (or
downloaded from the XTide ftp site).

- Description
-
XTide is a package that provides tide and current predictions in a wide
variety of formats. Graphs, text listings, and calendars can be generated,
or a tide clock can be provided on your desktop.
This package provides the harmonics data used by the xtide package to
display tidal information for most parts of the world. The data are
packaged separately from xtide because they may be updated separately.
Some data omitted from the upstream harmonics file because of restrictions
on commercial distribution and were included in the non-free package
xtide-data-nonfree.
