KStars participated in Google Summer of Code in 2008, [4] 2009, [5] 2010, [6] 2011 [7] 2012, [8] 2015 [9] and 2016. [10] It has also participated in the first run of ESA's Summer of Code in Space in 2011. [11] It has been identified as one of the three best "Linux stargazing apps" in a Linux.com review. [12]
Astronomical pictures, like observational astronomy and photography from space exploration, show astronomical objects and phenomena in different colors and brightness, and often as composite images. This is done to highlight different features or reflect different conditions, and makes the note of these conditions necessary.
Similarly, there is a render limit for stars at 10 million light-years in versions 1.6.3 and under, increased to 1 billion light-years in 1.7.0. Any stars beyond that limit are not rendered, and stars that are close to the 1.7.0 render limit experience floating point errors, meaning their position is inaccurate.

[1] [13] However, more recent models of its stellar evolution have suggested revision of the star's age to 13.7 billion years [14] or 12 billion years. [5] Dubbed the "Methuselah Star" by the popular press due to its age, [15] [16] the star must have formed soon after the Big Bang [1] and is one of the oldest stars known as of 2021. [5]

Novae are stars that undergo dramatic explosions, but unlike supernovae, these do not result in the destruction of the original star. The likely rate of novae in the Milky Way is about 40 per year, [ 1 ] but of these only about 10 per year are discovered by observers as of the 2000s (decade). [ 2 ]
