Astronomy software has revolutionised amateur astronomy. It is possible to predict the positions of stars and planets at any time and at any place. Before you buy planetarium software, it may be worth while checking out
Heavens Above as this also predicts many astronomical events, including satellite orbits. If you are looking for images of space, try the Hubble Space Telescope Site first. This is free and you can download many printable images at high resolution. Images from the hubble telescope (of which there are thousands) are freely available to use providing you credit NASA/ HST. |
