will not delete
ennui1ross- Pros
- none come to mind
- Cons
- Cannot get this thing to delete from hard drive. Force delete from trash does not work either. Never could get it to launch in the first place.
- Summary
Gives great perspective.

Celestia is a Piece of Crap .... crashes OS X...
vintage_gman- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- ...10.2.x and 10.3.x on three diff Macs!<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Don't waste you're time on this POS poorly written (and obviously un-tested) Astro program!
Wow! Big Bang = Big Crash!
Bill Dawson- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br /><b>This program is AWESOME!</b> - but I have never seen an app lock up my iBook faster or harder. :( <br><br> Editing the cfg file as described in the readme fixed it. <br><br> The program chokes after a few flies through, <b>but it is spectacular up to then</b>. I'll give it a 5th star when it can get me back from <b>Polaris</b> to <b>Earth</b>.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />computer froze so hard - unable to even ssh in after gui/finder/everything locked up. a real hardcore crash not seen since Mac OS 9 days. a really great program but do everything to <b>avoid this release</b>. superfreeze happens around two mins into demo.
Beautiful but crashes like an asteroid
Matthew Culmore- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Demo mode DOA. I have tried versions for about 2 years and it just doesn't meet my patience criteria. The days of a hard freeze is or should be over.
Incredible
macimmortal- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is absolutely incredible. I am so grateful to the developer who did this, I can't thank you enough. My only problem is that I can't get Celestia to hold permissions to allow my students to open it in a managed account under Panther. System Preferences-Accounts-Limitations-Some Limits Once that is fixed, this is going to be on every workstation in our school. Thanks again for an awesome application
Starry Night has had this \"fly through\" for years.
blueskymining- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />In the interest of honesty, Starry Night from Space.com, has has this deep space "fly through" for years! Even the basic beginner version of Starry Night ($29.95) that ran on OS 9 had this in a copy I bought over three years ago, and a lot more "off Earth" planetarium features not in this app. Glad to see this sophistication in a free Planetarium app, but lets be honest in the description declaration.
Very nice!
Dardo- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I haven't had so much fun playing with software in a very long time. Sure, it lacks some features, but even at this alpha stage you can spend hours and hours exploring its possibilities. Amazing graphics, amazing educational value... an amazing adventure. Keep up the great work and if you can, allow users to customize their keyboard controls. My keyboard for example doesn't have an "End" key, although Keyboard Maestro solved the problem (as usual). Also, thanks for making it freeware!!
