Celestia Portable 1.6.0 has been released. Celestia Portable is the popular planetarium program packaged with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app,
so you can view the universe in 3-D anywhere. It has all the same
great features as Celestia including 3-D planet viewing, viewing over 100,000 stars, traveling beyond our galaxy, and more. This release updates Celestia to the latest version and has an improved launcher and installer. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.
Features
Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
Celestia is expandable. Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that's not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects. Learn more about Celestia...
New In This Release
This release updates Celestia to the latest version and has an improved launcher and installer.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Celestia Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Forums
Please post a note in the forums for support issues so it can be properly addressed. Offhand, I'd guess the PC doesn't support OpenGL in hardware and is VERY SLOWLY trying to setup the first screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del should bring up task manager (very slowly) so you can kill it. But please post additional info to the support forum here so we can work with you to be sure: https://portableapps.com/forums/support/other_apps
Thank you, I have do it now.
