A port of Stellarium called Stellarium Mobile is available for\u00a0Android<\/a>,\u00a0iOS<\/a>, and\u00a0Symbian<\/a>\u00a0as a paid version, being developed by Noctua Software. These have a limited functionality, lacking some features of the desktop version. All versions use\u00a0OpenGL<\/a>\u00a0to render a realistic projection of the\u00a0night sky<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0real time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2006, Stellarium 0.7.1 won a gold award in the Education category of the\u00a0Les Troph\u00e9es du Libre<\/a>\u00a0free software<\/a> competition.<\/p>\n

A modified version of Stellarium has been used by the\u00a0MeerKAT<\/a>\u00a0project as a virtual sky display showing where the antennae of the\u00a0radio telescope<\/a>\u00a0are pointed.<\/sup><\/p>\n

In December 2011, Stellarium was added as one of the “featured applications” in the\u00a0Ubuntu Software Center<\/a>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Planetarium dome projection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fisheye and spherical mirror distortion features allow Stellarium to be projected onto domes. Spherical mirror distortion is used in projection systems that use a digital\u00a0video projector<\/a>\u00a0and a first surface convex\u00a0spherical mirror<\/a>\u00a0to project images onto a\u00a0dome<\/a>. Such systems are generally cheaper than traditional\u00a0planetarium projectors<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0fish-eye lens<\/a>\u00a0projectors and for that reason are used in budget and home planetarium setups where projection quality is less important.[citation needed<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/sup><\/p>\n

Various companies which build and sell digital planetarium systems use Stellarium, such as\u00a0e-Planetarium<\/i>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Digitalis Education Solutions<\/i>, which helped develop Stellarium, created a fork called\u00a0Nightshade<\/a>\u00a0which was specifically tailored to planetarium use.<\/sup><\/sup><\/p>\n

VirGO<\/strong><\/p>\n

VirGO is a Stellarium plugin, a visual browser for the\u00a0European Southern Observatory<\/a>\u00a0(ESO) Science Archive Facility which allows astronomers to browse professional astronomical data. It is no longer supported or maintained; the last version was 1.4.5, dated January 15, 2010.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Stellarium Mobile<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stellarium Mobile is a\u00a0fork<\/a>\u00a0of Stellarium, developed by some of the Stellarium team members. It currently targets mobile devices running\u00a0Symbian<\/a>,\u00a0Maemo<\/a>,\u00a0Android<\/a>, and\u00a0iOS<\/a>. Some of the mobile optimisations have been integrated into the mainline Stellarium product.<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
