Stellarium

real-time photo-realistic sky generator
Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real-time.
With stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or
a small telescope.

Some features:
 - Over 120000 stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue with name and infos for the
   brightest ones,
 - Planets in real time, with a powerful zoom mode to see them like in a
   telescope,
 - Drawing of the 88 constellations with their names,
 - Drawing of more than 40 messiers objects (Orion, M31 etc..),
 - Photorealistic Milky Way,
 - Ground, fog, and landscape,
 - Clickable stars, planets and nebulas with informations,
 - Windowed and fullscreen modes.

Stellarium should not be used for very high accurate calculation or ephemerids
like eclipse predictions.
However, it is the ideal program to prepare an observation evening with naked
eye, binocular, or small telescope.

Celestia

A real-time visual space simulation (KDE frontend)
Celestia is a real-time visual simulation of space.  Choose a point
within the Local Group of galaxies, and Celestia will show you an
approximation of how it would appear to your eyes were you actually
there.  Some of what Celestia shows is necessarily hypothetical--the
farther away from Earth you get, the less real data there is and the
more guesswork is involved.  Thus Celestia supplements observational
data with good guesses based on models of stellar and planetary
processes.
Celestia is unique in its ability to allow you to navigate at an
immense range of scales.  Orbit a couple kilometers above the surface
of a tiny, irregular asteroid, then head off towards Jupiter, watching
it grow from a bright point of light into a looming sphere filling your
field of vision.  Leave our solar system entirely and observe the sun
as it fades from a brilliant disk to a bright star, disappearing almost
entirely as you head off toward the Upsilon Andromeda system to orbit
around its innermost giant planet.

xorsa

tool for Celestial Mechanics investigations
Orbit Reconstruction, Simulation and Analysis (ORSA) is a framework
for Celestial Mechanics investigations. The main goals of the project
are the implementation of state of the art orbit integration
algorithms, with concerns on accuracy and performance, and the
development of a number of analysis tools.
This package contains xorsa, the main graphical application  provided
by the ORSA project. It is an interactive tool for scientific grade
Celestial Mechanics computations. Asteroids, comets, artificial
satellites, Solar, and extra-Solar planetary systems can be
accurately reproduced, simulated and analyzed.

openuniverse

3D Universe Simulator
OpenUniverse (OU for short) is a fun, fast and free
OpenGL space simulator. It currently focuses on the Solar System
and lets you visit all of its planets, most major moons and a vast
collection of smaller bodies in colorful, glorious and realtime
3D. If you've ever had a chance to visit Mercury or asteroid Geographos,
here you'll find them looking exactly the same way, following exactly
the same path as when you've left them.
Notice that OpenUniverse is not actively being maintained anymore and
that users are recommended to use Celestia instead.

astronomical almanac - calculate planet and star positions

The aa program computes the orbital positions of planetary bodies and
performs rigorous coordinate reductions to apparent geocentric and
topocentric place (local altitude and azimuth).  It also reduces star
catalogue positions given in either the FK4 or FK5 system.  Data for
the 57 navigational stars is included.  Most of the algorithms
employed are from The Astronomical Almanac (AA) published by the
U.S. Government Printing Office.
The aa program follows the rigorous algorithms for reduction of
celestial coordinates exactly as laid out in current editions of
the Astronomical Almanac.  The reduction to apparent geocentric
place has been checked by a special version of the program (aa200)
that takes planetary positions directly from the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory DE200 numerical integration of the solar system. The
results agree exactly with the Astronomical Almanac tables from
1987 onward (earlier Almanacs used slightly different reduction
methods).
Certain computations, such as the correction for nutation,
are not given explicitly in the AA but are referenced there. In
these cases the program performs the full computations that are
used to construct the Almanac tables (references are provided).

spacechart

Star map viewer and navigator
SpaceChart is a program to display 3d maps of stars and move freely
around it. It is capable of showing only a subset of the stars in a
given data file, and only those within a given distance of the
center of the display. Also, it shows lines between stars that are
closer than a given distance.

earth3d

Map client displaying a 3D model of the world
The map data is fetched from a server on the net, and the client will
display recent satellite images and map data.

Tessa

simulation of 3D optical systems with the FDTD method
Tessa is a three-dimensional simulation software for optical systems at
the wavelength scale, based on the finite differences time-domain method
(FDTD). It focuses on simulating large, resonating structures, but can
also be used to study propagating beams. It can simulate arbitrary
dielectric and absorbing materials, and can be used on single
workstations as well as clusters.
