About the Project
Aciqra is an open source virtual planetarium and sky map program. It has the ability to track nearly 120,000 stars, the 8 planets, all 109 Messier object, the sun and the moon from any location on Earth to an accuracy of 1 degree for the next 50 years. It also includes a wealth of built-in tools called "widgets" which include a solar system viewer, an eclipse/transit predictor and a conjunction engine.
The Aciqra project is the world's largest and most active open source GDI-based planetarium available on the internet. This reflects the tremendous amount of energy and the hundreds of hours of work put towards creating and perfecting it. In return, we ask for nothing more than your satisfaction. Please register if you like this program and/or wish to help move it into the future.
Documentation
