ImageAbout Celestia
Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn’t confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.

- All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A ‘point-and-goto’ interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.

- Celestia is expandable. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that’s not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.

Really Slick ScreenSavers(1)				      General Commands Manual				      Really Slick ScreenSavers(1)

NAME

       hyperspace - Flying through hyper space.

SYNOPSIS

       hyperspace  [--root/-r]	[--maxfps/-x number] [--vsync/-y number] [--dpms/-M number] [--speed/-s number] [--stars/-S number] [--starsize/-t
       number] [--resolution/-R number] [--depth/-d number] [--fov/-f number] [--no-shader/-H]

DESCRIPTION

       From Terry Walsh (http://reallyslick.com): "This is a real number cruncher of a screensaver. Computers are getting much more powerful these
       days,  and  my  old savers don't bring them to their knees like they used to. This one does. Of course, you can still turn the settings way
       down if you have a pathetic, old computer."

       Ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali.
