With StarStrider, you can  not only see the celestial sky as seen from
Earth - you also get the power to visit the other planets and moons of our
solar system. But not only that, you can even journey to other stars and
watch our Sun faint to a dot among millions of others. What do the Pleiades
look like from behind? What constellation is our Sun part of, as seen from
Vega? What are the relativistic effects when approaching light speeds?
How do the celestial fields look like with exaggerated 3D stereo vision?
Get the answers in StarStrider!
