The people at Neave have released a new online planetarium that allows anyone to gaze at the stars, click on them, and find out basic information like the star’s name and location. Best of all, no download is required and you can start your stargazing adventure immediately. Other options available on this smooth application include the ability to change time, date and location. Orient your search through easy to click directional indicators and then surf around by simply moving the mouse wherever you’d like to go. For anyone interested in seeing what is up in the sky, this is the fastest option and won’t require time-consuming downloads.
“Look around the sky with your mouse: click to start/stop moving; point at stars to see their name, magnitude and constellation. You can also change your date, time and location.”
People often won’t use an application if it requires a download and that makes Neave’s Planetarium an attractive option that could attract a great deal of users for that very reason.
Are they going to be developing a zooming function? Currently you can’t zoom in and simply surf around the sky from the same distance. This offering could be greatly improved by the ability to zoom in and get more detail.
