| | | Astronomy Software
My brother mentioned the other week that you can download free astronomy software from the Internet that can be used to learn all about the solar system and so on.
I've had a look for some but it's either really old stuff (about 5-6 years, but that's ancient in computers -  ) or it looks really complicated with lots of maths in it...I don't like maths.
I'm basically after something that's easy to use and has plenty of pictures and video  ...nothing too strenuous just yet |

| | | I got a free bit of astronomy software through the post last year that was pretty good and easy to use. I could have sworn that it was sent by Serif but I can't find it at the moment and I can't find anything similar on their website.
I'll keep looking and let you know as soon as I find it. |

| | Stunning pictures Eileen...they're so incredible that they're almost verging on the unbelievable.
It's as though someone at NASA realised that they already had the support of the US science enthusiasts but, to increase public backing for a bigger budget, they would need to appeal to the nation's artists as well...so they came up with these pictures
Hey! It looks like I've just developed a new conspiracy theory  ...did I mention that the pictures were taken by a man on a grassy knoll?

'astronomy software from the Internet that can be used to learn all about the solar system and so on'
Just wondering as this would be of interest to me as well.

the US NAVAL OBSERVATORY the good old BBC,and SKYWATCH may be useful
