Resources currently sorted by: Date (New downloads listed first) AstroSolar  | | Description: | AstroSolar is a didactic software, for presentation of the Astronomy for those that are not so familiarized with some of the basic concepts of this wonderful science.
The software possesses information on the several bodies of the Solar system, besides information on the several concepts approached in the study of the astronomy.
A guide of celestial observation, based on the constellations, is also available in this software.
The texts and menus of the software are in the Portuguese language, and this software was developed by Márlon Pessanha, Sabrina Cozendey, Victor Hugo Oliveira, Marcelo Souza.

 Solar System 3D Simulator | | Description: | Generates a realistic solar system model and planets in 3 D. It can display the planets and their orbits, the Sun and the Moon. The nine planets including planet earth and their detailed physical & chemical information and image pictures is also displayed including solar power, solar energy and solar eclipse details. The graphical output is in high-resolution 3D full color format and the orbit view can be adjusted and the orbits tilted & rotated to any angle. The speed of the solar system can also be varied.
The Solar System model is useful for learning about the physics of the universe, astronomy, science projects & science experiments interactively for both adults and kids. Students of Elementary, Middle and High School can use it for science fair projects ideas, physics help, science news & creating science articles. Easy to use. | | | Filesize: | 5.03 MB | | Added on: | 15-Mar-2006 | | Downloads: | 1286 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| AstroGrav (Windows) | | Description: | Software that allows you to study how astronomical objects move and interact under the force of gravity. It features interactive 3D graphics which allow you to move around within an astronomical system that you are viewing, while watching how it evolves with the passage of time.
A wide variety of sample files are provided, including Solar System, space mission, and abstract systems, and these enable you to experiment with AstroGrav without having to go to the trouble of entering your own data. The comprehensive editing facilities allow you to either create your own astronomical systems, or to modify existing ones, and provide you with an almost endless scope for experimentation and investigation.
AstroGrav can be used to visualize and understand the following aspects of gravitational and astronomical systems:

| Gravitation3D | | Description: | Gravitation3D is an OpenGL based shareware program written for Windows. It started as a hobby in 2002 and was first published on the web April 29th, 2003.
The program provides a way for you to play the creator. You construct unique solar systems from scratch by adding gravitational bodies and configuring their starting properties. You then start your simulation and watch your systems evolve. Gravitation3D can provide hours of fun without even realizing you are learning! I already consider it a success because of the subtle insights I've gained from it.
Gravitation3D is geared towards the physics, space, and math hobbyist. It is also an excellent educational tool, and would be perfect for generating interest in astrophysics, or for the high school or college physics teacher who wanted to develop lesson plans around it.
Since this is a graphics intensive program, the nicer your computer and video card, the better chance you have for smooth operation. As a low end benchmark, I am able to run the program ok on my Pentium III, 500 mHz with a TNT2 video card. This computer was purchased in November, 1999. However, it is much more beautiful and satisfying to run on my 1.2 gHz computer with a GeForce2. Some might already consider this latter computer somewhat outdated.

| Gravity Simulator | | Description: | Gravity Simulator provides amateur astronomers with a powerful numerical integration tool. By performing n-body simulations, you can study the orbits of planets, moons, asteroids, or any object in the universe. You can recreate simulations performed by professional astronomers, or experiment with simulations of your own creation.

| Galaxy Collisions | | Description: | This program for Windows simulates the collision of two galaxies. Each galaxy has its mass, number of stars, and orientation set by the user. The collision is viewed in two windows, an X-Y, and X-Z view. The facility exists to view the collision from any desired view point via a 3D spatial viewer. The initial conditions of the collision can be saved to file for re-running at a later date. A full help file is provided giving instructions and tips. | | | Version: | 6 | | Filesize: | 60.64 Kb | | Added on: | 07-Feb-2005 | | Downloads: | 763 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| E.T. Counter | | Description: | E.T. Counter roughly calculates the number of inhabited planets and advanced civilizations that currently exist in our galaxy, based on your own specifications and assumptions. It relies on estimated percentages, probabilities and average values.
The algorithm is inspired by Isaac Asimov's book "Extraterrestrial Civilizations" and the Green Bank formula (mainly created by F. D. Drake).
Educators and SETI Hunters alike will find useful. | | | Version: | V1.0 | | Filesize: | 34.18 Kb | | Added on: | 25-Jan-2005 | | Downloads: | 441 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
