About this title

Synopsis

Bring the planetarium into your home
Explore the universe through your computer—no more hunting for your almanac, digging up that elusive astronomical magazine, or sitting down for hours of laborious calculations on your pocket calculator. This book offers programs that are useful to the serious amateur astronomer as well as the occasional stargazer. The programs convert time from one system of measurement to another, calculate and display the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars for any date at any boation. teach you to recognize the constellations, and more. Knowledge of the stars and solar system is at your fingertips in Celestial BASIC.

"The beauty of author Eric Burgess's approach is that his programs don't just print the results of the calculations—they display them graphically on the computer's monitor... a fascinating and extremely useful book..." Mike Higgins, Computer Graphics World
