Customer Review: (Version 5.0) Fun, because you can view the galaxy & beyond from literally any position in space, and in any time (what did the sky look like when you were born? When Ptolemy was alive?), and educational, because these guys aren't dummies throwing together some flashy thing with no science behind it. The product feels like it was made by people who really care about what they're doing. Lots of depth in the information they provide, and connections to professional weather and astronomy sites (e.g. a weather map). I use this at home but I bet teachers would love this. I'd definitely recommend the Pro product over the others because you can hook up your digital telescope -- a cool & incredibly helpful feature.

Customer Review: I am constantly on the lookout for science software that's fun for my kids. When I saw that Children's Software Revue gave Starry Night Complete Space & Astronomy Pack 4.5 stars out of five and called it "the ideal package for either novice or expert astronomers who want to know a bit more about their backyard view of the Universe," it was a must-buy for my household. My kids love this program. They are on the computer all the time now looking at the planets and the sun or doing one of the guided tours. I totally recommend this! more...
