A sophisticated public domain astronomy program for celestial viewing from on and off the earth

Looking around the neighborhood of the big blue marble

See It All

This software does just about everything I can imagine an astronomy program doing. You can view the heavens from any site on Earth, set any date and time for viewing, use telescope or horizon views, track planets, asteroids, and comets, track satellites orbiting the Earth, view the solar system from any vantage point, view the Earth from any point with day and night changes, track the phases of the sun and moon, and more. It is a native 32-bit Windows application.

Public domain software

No Limitations

This software has been released into the public domain by its author, John Walker, a pioneer in the software industry who founded AutoDesk and co-wrote the original AutoCad. Scroll down the site page for complete download and installation instructions for each of the several versions and modules. There is even a related screensaver program available for download as well!
