Description:
GNU SpaceChart is a program that allows you to see a map of the stars in 3D, 
check the distance between them and rotate them, so that you can see how they 
are distributed in space from any point of view outside of the Solar System.

It supports filtering the stars according to several physical attributes, so 
that you only see the ones you are interested in. The program also shows, at 
the user request, lines between those stars that are closer than a given 
distance to each other.

Spacechart is fully customizable with config files, and automatic generation of 
those files is planned for the next release.

It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/spacechart/spacechart-0.9.4.tar.gz


Other Software Required:
Spacechart requires the GNOME libraries to run.

Other Comments:
The program has already been approved as a GNU package by Richard Stallman.
