Sky-Map.org (or WikiSky.org) is a wiki and interactive sky map that covers over half a billion known celestial bodies. [1] WikiSky is designed, in part, as a wiki.Users can edit information about different stars by writing articles, adding Internet links, uploading images, or creating a special interest group for a specific task.

Typical DSO survey in Celestia. Celestia versions 1.6.3 and under display the Hipparcos Catalogue (HIP) of 118,322 stars and a compiled catalogue of galaxies, while version 1.7.0 includes stars from the Tycho-2 Catalogue alongside the Hipparcos stars, with some data from Gaia, increasing the star count to over 2 million.

The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M, K, F, G, A, B and O. It may be later expanded to other types, such as S , D or C . The Alpha Centauri star system is the closest star system to the Sun .

Planetarium software is application software that allows a user to simulate the celestial sphere at any time of day, especially at night, on a computer.Such applications can be as rudimentary as displaying a star chart or sky map for a specific time and location, or as complex as rendering photorealistic views of the sky.
