Added list of interesting variable stars in Search Tool Added list of interesting double stars in Search Tool Added AstroCalc - a tool for calculating planetary phenomena (LP: #1181702) Added tool for prediction of Iridium flares to Satellites plugin Added Iridium flares to Satellites plugin (LP: #1106782) Now we optionally have IAU-2000B nutation. Added accurate calculations of the ecliptic obliquity. That means, there are no more separate OpenGL/ANGLE/MESA downloads, but after installation you will have separate commands in the start menu which force ANGLE or MESA modes.Ī huge thanks to our community whose contributions help to make Stellarium better! In total 83 bugs and wishlist items were fixed or at least decided.Ī platform-specific change for Windows: OpenGL binding is now dynamic. Landscapes can have switchable labels, so you can e.g. In total, 15 catalogs are now built-in!Īlso the Meteor Shower, Satellites, Telescope Control and 3D Sceneries plugins have been improved. The other big addition is a greatly improved collection of DSO data with lots of possibilities in a new GUI tab to select for object type and/or catalog.
There is more to follow in future versions. We can therefore now show that planetary positions given by the commonly used solution VSOP87 is applicable to -4000.+8000 only, and its use outside this range will give somewhat artificial results. We now dare to add another coordinate system: Ecliptic coordinates of date. Application of DeltaT has been simplified and made a bit more intuitive. Given that nobody has observed it without telescope and the model does not give limits of applicability, we limit its application to 1500.2500 Nutation is applied (IAU2000B solution). Precession now follows the IAU2006 model in the long-time version from Vondrák et al.
Version 0.14.0 brings a big leap forward in astronomical accuracy for historical applications: The Stellarium development team after 6 months of development is proud to announce the release of version 0.14.0 of Stellarium.
