Resources currently sorted by: Date (Old downloads listed first) H-R Calc for Windows  | | Description: | Plots and makes easy the study of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
Allows you to understand and establish a relation between mass, brightness and class of stellar objects; includes a database featuring the most commonly known stars. Also enables the comparison of star diameters with our Sun. | | | Version: | 2 | | Filesize: | 32.00 Kb | | Added on: | 03-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 618 | | Rating: | 7.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| Visual Planets | | Description: | Superb. Explains with illustrations the astrophysics of the Sun and solar system planets (structure, atmosphere, rings and satellites).
Also gives information on the mythology and the spacecraft missions aimed at each one.
At last, it supplies tables of statistical data and the option to compare the size of each planet with our one. | | | Version: | 2.0 | | Filesize: | 3.12 MB | | Added on: | 03-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 723 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Solar System | | Description: | Plots the gravitational behaviour of celestial bodies, allowing the user to construct new models by feeding his own values.
It comes with a few pre-programmed models. For instance, what would happen if a new planet, lost in space, was to approach our solar system? Or, how would behave a binary system, in which each star was orbited by a planet? Solar System allows you to visualize the effect. | | | Version: | 1.0 | | Filesize: | 397.00 Kb | | Added on: | 03-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 464 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Galactic Viewer | | Description: | «A simple application that allows you to view the Milky Way Galaxy from overhead and zoom in and out. Produces a rather detailed output with scale bar, various telescope objects and depicts the galaxy´s spiral arms.»
Star Trek fans will optionally like to see the fictitious boundaries of the several civilizations overlaid. | | | Version: | 1 | | Filesize: | 1000.00 Kb | | Added on: | 03-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 493 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
 ChView | | Description: | ChView is intended as a three-dimensional aid to: viewing some of the nearer stars of our galaxy; navigating the distances between them; and accessing basic information.
Data files provide nearly 8,500 stars and other celestial objects believed to lie within 150 light-years (ly) of Earth, in a 300-ly diameter sphere.

| Planetas | | Description: | Shows a sequence of high resolution images of the planets with a brief description and a suggestive(?) sound track of Star Trek.
You will perhaps like to have it running should you ever organize an exhibition on Astronomy.

| Our Cosmohood | | Description: | Classical cosmology program - the first version dates back to 1992, the latest release is from 1999.
It offers a 3D model of the closest 2368 galaxies and an animation of a guided visit where, step by step, an explanation is provided on the organization and structure of the nearby universe

| Gravitorium | | Description: | «The prime purpose of Gravitorium is to let you play with ideas about gravity and gravitational systems. While it's not intended to be a highly accurate solar system simulator, at low speeds its accuracy is really pretty good, at least for modest periods of time (a hundred years or so). It is certainly good enough to get a good general impression of the likely course of events in a particular planetary system. And, best of all, it lets you "play universe creator". Throw in a few extra planets, add a black hole, set a comet plunging towards the Earth! Or create an entirely new solar system from scratch.
Educators should find it a very useful tool for teaching physics and astronomy.» | | | Version: | 1.2.0 | | Filesize: | 2.57 MB | | Added on: | 07-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 371 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Orbit Xplorer | | Description: | «Calculate and plot the orbits of up to 10 gravitationally interacting bodies.
Easily create, run, save and print your own orbit simulation.
Show time, distance, velocity, acceleration and energy continously.
Create graphs of distance, velocity, acceleration and energy v. time.
Run up to four simultaneous simulations. »
The unregistered version can only run one simulation at a time, and only for twenty seconds. The print item is disabled. | | | Version: | 2 | | Filesize: | 3.06 MB | | Added on: | 07-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 320 | | Rating: | 1.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
