real-time visual space simulation (GLUT frontend)

 Celestia is a free 3D astronomy program. Based on the Hipparcos
 Catalogue, it allows users to display objects ranging in scale from
 artificial satellites to entire galaxies in three dimensions using
 OpenGL. Unlike most planetarium software, the user is free to travel
 about the Universe.
 .
 This package contains a minimal frontend for Celestia. There is a separate
 package that provides a frontend that integrates with GNOME.
