Astronomy Software
Astronomy is a popular subject. Some are serious scientists who study it for a living, or who even teach it. Others are regular people who enjoy it as a hobby. A number of amazing discoveries have been made by amateurs. For the longest time telescopes or at least binocular were the tools of choice. But now thanks to astronomy software, everyone with a computer can take part in this interesting and at times exciting endeavor. This is a discussion of just some of the available software.
One popular application is SETI@Home. The idea behind this software was to create supercomputer made up of many small computers connected via the Internet. Before SETI@Home the SETI radio telescope, SETI meaning Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, scanned the heavens for radio signals that would indicate a pattern, an intelligence behind them. Scientists used supercomputers to go through all the data collected. Today, however, it's up to people's computers at home and at the office. There won't be some kind of alert if intelligent life is found. But if SETI ever does find intelligence, then everyone who was part of SETI@Home can say they played a role.
3-D screen savers are a more basic type of astronomy software. These programs kick in when a PC is idle, and show various space objects rendered in spectacular 3D computer graphics. This can include simple views as well as navigable planets, solar systems or other objects that the user can explore from any angle and distance. A search engine like Google can help you locate one of these programs.
Most people don't know about F.I.T.S. It's NASA's flexible image transport system that delivers data including 2-D and 3-D imaging. There are a variety of programs that can read and display this type of data. there's freeware such as FITSview and professional programs like AstroArt. Google can help you find more. Try Duke University's website.
There is even software that helps adjust for imperfections in telescope lenses. The software displays images that help the hobbyist adjust the telescope.
These are only a small sample of the astronomy software available. Download some and have fun.
