Best Way to Learn About The Universe for Adults and Children
What can I say except - The Best! I bought this for myself as a reintroduction to an old hobby. The package surpassed all other programs I'd ever seen. It was intuitive, informative and included material I'd never seen before. Needless to say, I'm considering buying a telescope now! The depth of information on deep sky objects was my favorite feature. However, when my 5th grader got his ...

Beautiful night sky
I have always enjoyed looking up at the night sky but I couldn't identify very many stars or planets. With Starry Night Complete Space & Astronomy Pack I have solved my problem. It will show me what the sky will look like before I go outside. It names the stars that I am trying to locate. In most cases it will even give me the proper pronunciation of each star. I have learned how to go forward or ...

Don't Bother
Though it's possible there's more to this software than I've discovered (a DVD by the way, not a CD), what I've seen so far is pitiful. It's like I cut out pictures from astronomy magazines, scanned them, then watched them as a slide show. There's nothing that would qualify as computer graphics; and nothing truly inter-active. And the representation of the solar system: a series of drawn ...

A fun, enjoyable game
I bought this game, not having played the Nancy Drew games before. I'd read the books as a child, and the games are good extentsion of that. This game was fun, and enjoyable. It has a good storyline, lots of puzzles, and quite good graphics. It wasn't easy to complete, took a week or so, but I had fun while I was working out the puzzles, and exploring many parts of the Nancy Drew world. I would ...

Works Fine on a Mac!
For those having problems with Vista, I'm truly sorry. This wonderful program has run absolutely fine, without a single hic-up, on all 3 of my (and my wife's) Macs for the last three years. As for what it can do -- it is amazing how much detail is included; it is an essential part of our viewing. Highly recommended!

It's okay I guess
This item has nice extra's included in the package--the little book, etc. However, the software itself is more for an adult than a child and not that user friendly really. But for the price, I guess it was alright. There are no sounds with it--and kids like sounds.

Expensive, but well worth it. Also supports Vista
Works great on my Macbook AND my Vista machine (which is used less and less as I revel in the joy that is "Mac OS X"). The amount of information available is staggering. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the AllSky survey, but when I consider it only adds 60 to cost (compared to Pro) and other enhancements are included as well, the "Plus" is well worth it. be prepared for a total install of ...

Amazing!!!
I am 30 years old and have been out of school for many years now. I work a job that is not mentally stimulating in the least and sometimes my brain feels as if it's on autopilot. I bought this software as a refresher course on literature and science, as I've forgotten much of what I learned. I am very amazed at its quality. I believe easily that I could have not attended elementary through ...

Website shutdown!!!
I think this would have been a great software product but everything refers to the website which has been shutdown. As a reference tool I guess its fine but if you are homeschooling an 8th grader like I am it is of no use without the website. I wish Amazon had not had it up for sale so I would not have wasted my money. Amazon really dropped the ball on this one and I will think twice about buying ...

A relaxing screensaver
I bought this as something nice to run as a security feature on my computer. It is absolutely beautiful. I particularly like the "book" view where movies play in a book with turning pages! I chose to randomly play all the movies so I get a good mix of different space views. There is even an option for me to import my own quicktimes. And, it has this great peaceful music that plays with the videos ...
