Celestia: Real-time 3D visualization of space
Celestia is a rare Linux app not on Flathub, but it is available from Fedora's Flatpak repo, which in theory should be usable on any distro: https://github.com/CelestiaProject/Celestia/discussions/1988

Stellarium is a free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time
I remember going to a planetarium at the local university while in school some 15 years ago. They told us how they use Stellarium to create the skies and Celestia (https://celestiaproject.space/) to create scripted tours for their exhibits. Both were compatible with the hemispherical projector they used.
As soon as I went home I downloaded them both and spent hours visiting random stars in Celestia and exploring the sky in Stellarium.

Anyone know a site or app that could let me see the night sky from the surface of other planets?
I think Celestia will let you do this.

Why is OpenUniverse still in Debian repositories and there is not Celestia?
Upstream is on github, and seems to have their own debian/* packaging scripts, so might just be a simple upload.

What apps do you wish there is a flatpak for?
The Google Chat plugin being added to the Pidgin Flatpak so I can actually use it

purple-googlechat in Pidgin: "Anonymous User" names in my Pidgin contact list and numbers in my IMs.
So I went to github.com/eionrobb/purple-googlechat to direct you to a bug, but I see you already entered one there.. Why post to both?

Google Chat/Talk no longer working 6/7/22
Yep for Facebook Messenger and Google Talk for me. Even ICQ. We'll see what happens on the 16th when Google drops its Talk. I'm not using Chat plugin yet until then. How's your Google Chat plugin so far? I see issues in https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-googlechat/issues.

https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-googlechat this works OK, but is prompting constantly about certs. it does work, though.
