Stellarium - A free planetarium software for star gazing in Ubuntu
Stellarium is an open-source planetarium program that has gained a considerable popularity together with other free and open-source astronomical programs such as Celestia and KStars. What makes Stellarium a standout among a plethora of other contenders is its balance of features and the simplicity it offers for a novice user while maintaining a high scientific accuracy.
Most amateur science related software programs have a tendency to overwhelm users with a large number of features and detail which may put-off a casual user. Stellarium, while being a program that is designed for projection on planetarium domes, also accompanies the keen star-gazer who simply wants to find out a name of a star or the location of a deep-sky object that he wants to locate for observation.
