If you look up into the sky on a clear dark night, far from the intrusive glow of streetlights, you will see a faint band of starlight running across the heavens - "Milky Way". It is actually the disk of our own galaxy - seen from our perspective (within the disk). But what if we leave our Solar System and the Galaxy on fantastic space ship and look back to our "Space Island"? What should we see?..
This screensaver is an attempt to simulate this fantastic space scene as close to reality as possible using modern 3D technologies. You can download free evaluation copy of "Galaxy 3D Space Tour" screensaver or purchase unlimited version to decorate your computer.
We tried to simulate fascinating space view of the Galaxy using latest astronomical knowledge. Color palettes, stars distribution within spiral galactic structure, dark and glowing nebulae, position and appearance of Magellanic Clouds (two tiny galaxies, satellites of Milky Way) - every detail is carefully adjusted to match its actual appearance.
