3D Stars was originally written for the Mac as part of
The Digital Universe 2.x distribution. 3D Stars is a
standalone application in its own right and does not
require The Digital Universe.

The version for Amiga OS4 is released as a separate
product that anyone can try, and not just restricted
to being part of a commercial package.

3D Stars uses accurate stellar distances data derived from
the Hipparcos mission, 3DStars provides you with a way of
visualizing how the sky would appear from off-Earth vantage
points. In fact, you can view the heavens from positions
thousands of light years away from the Sun.

Though not provided,if you get hold of a pair of Red/Blue
3D glasses you will optionally be able to view our local
galactic region in glorious 3D. This does however rather
unscientifically assume that you would have eyes a few
light-years apart rather than just a few cm !

3D Stars is localised for several languages. This also
includes its simple online help file which informs the
user which keys perform which actions.

A more comprehensive manual is provided in PDF format
but is in English only.

Note: Users of The Digital Universe will automatically
have the registered version of 3D Stars enabled, other
users can apply via donationware for a keyfile to register
their copy of 3D Stars if they so wish.
