Version: Celestia 1.2
Pros: I love this. The controls, while a little difficult at first, allow you to get to pretty much anywhere once you learn them. You can go to other stars that have planets, get data on any star in the program, view constalations, moons, asteriods, man made objects, etc. Requires an open internet connection to get info on objects.
Cons: Not the best of graphics, but its a free 13.5MB program. What do you expect?
It allows you to select other galaxys to look at, but once at another galaxy, you have to use the menus to navagate away, you can't select anything onscreen.
Other than that, no problems at all.

"Gets you out of your chair and up into space flying your own ship"
Pros: This program is awesome. Unlike most other space sims, you can fly throughout the cosmos to hundreds of destinations, including planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, comets, over 50 spacecraft, stars, nebula, black holes, pulsars, fictional solar systems complete with their own civilizations. Its really like going into space. There is also a set of detailed journeys you can take called Celestia Educational Activities. You can find them on one of Celestia's websites called the "Celestia motherlode".
