Using Stellarium to generate animated simulations
|
Conclusion
The simulations made possible by Stellarium are impressive. The software provides illustrations of current astronomical findings and also shows why it is so difficult to detect multiple small events in advance. The extensions open up far-reaching possibilities, and their syntax is not very complicated.
