Free Planetarium Software
If you're looking for a free planetarium program for your computer, then KStars is for you. This free program is based on the KDE platform and is available for Linux, BSD, macOS, Microsoft Windows, and even Android devices. KStars provides a realistic graphical representation of the night sky. If you're interested in getting started, you can download KStars from the website to find out more.
Besides providing a great graphical simulation of the night sky, KStars also lets you control local cameras or telescopes. You can also download optional data files, such as a satellite image, to further enhance KStars' capabilities. For advanced users, KStars is easy to customize. However, it can't replace professional astronomers. The program's documentation is extremely extensive, so make sure to download it first.
Many Linux/BSD distributions have packaged KStars separately. Arch Linux, Red Hat Linux, and OpenSUSE all package KStars separately. KStars is also part of the KDE Software Compilation, and can be found in Wikimedia Commons. There are also many free tutorials and guides available for KStars. You can also view KStars videos and images on YouTube. And, of course, you can download the latest version of KStars in its official website.
If you don't have an Android device, you can still install KStars on your computer. It works just as with a smartphone, and you can also install KStars on Windows and Mac using a free Android emulator like BlueStacks or Andy OS. You can also use the MemuPlay emulator to download KStars on your PC. APK files can be downloaded from this site. Once installed, you can play KStars on your PC.
