      Copernic  Popular
    Description: A real-time simulator of the Solar System and its surroundings written under the OpenGL environment using C/C++. It offers the posibility to view satellites, planets, asteroids, comets, centaurs, transneptunian objects, 400 stars, most of the nebulas and clusters around our Sun on a 7000 l.y range. It also displays all the Messier objects, 750 transneptunians, 10 000 asteroids, 300 comets, 100 centaurs. You can also view the sky as it is seen from your location, and find out when does a planet rise, set or transits (the program is set to show you the sky as seen from the town of Resita Romania but you can change it as you please).

    The program base version is in Romanian. Those wanting the English version must email the author to receive an additional 1 MB executable file for the interface - replacing the copernicus.exe file.
