Celestia is a real-time visual simulation of space in our local region of the universe. Choose a point within about 1000 light years of Earth, and Celestia will show you an approximation of how it would appear to your eyes were you actually there. Some of what Celestia shows is necessarily hypothetical--the farther away from Earth you get, the less real data there is and the more guesswork is involved. Thus Celestia supplements observational data with good guesses based on models of stellar and planetary processes. See additional information for important notes.
This Gnome version also contains the Source Package that is needed to run on Linux. This source package can be used to build either the UNIX or Windows version of Celestia. Try running the source first and and if you're using Gnome, there are the precompiled binaries to use if you have trouble.
