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 are some alternatives?
