  Real-time 3D visualization of space.

  

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.

  My scripts for Stellarium, the planetarium program. Good for studying the orbits of the planets and moons in real-time

I wrote a few scripts to help people study the orbits of the first five planets and moons with Stellarium. Here's one that is supposed to simulate a TV station that is on an hourly loop (it uses your computer clock to decide what should be showing at any minute of the hour)
