Gaze at the stars with Stellarium
We have had lots of programs featured here on Dedoimedo, but we never really focused on educational software. Until today. I'm going to present Stellarium, a beautiful, pleasant, addictive open-source planetarium software.
Stellarium is available for all major operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac) and will run well even on older machines. The program uses OpenGL to render realistic 3D sky in real time, giving you a genuine feel of the skydome.
Features
In its default edition, Stellarium has 600,000 stars mapped, but you can download additional catalogs with hundreds of millions more. The program allows you to watch the stars from different observatories around the Earth. Planets of our solar system are also mapped. What more, you can also observe the universe from the inhospitable surface of the Moon of Planet Mars.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
