世界最强的天文软件。它可以模拟公元前99999年到公元99999年的1000000光年内人类所能观察到的所有天文现象。它可不是一般的天文教学软件，只有一点文字，图片或动画而以，而是实时模拟软件。你可以把观察点设在自己所在地，看看今晚的星空，保证和你看到的实际星空一样（由于环境污染，真实星空估计你是看不到的）。你也可以把时间设到1万年前，看看那时的北斗七星是个什么排列，甚至可以站在冥王星上看日出，坐在哈雷彗星上环游太阳系，或者开着飞船在外太空遨游。反正，这一切都不是事先设定好的，完全可以按自己的意愿自行模拟出来。和一般天文软件相比，它最大的特点就是画面漂亮，支持opengl渲染和全景图片，星空在starry night里是非常真实的。
