Stellarium logoStellarium Portable 0.9.1 has been released. It's the popular Stellarium astronomy program packaged with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app so you can view the stars on the go. It has all the same great features as Stellarium including constellation drawing, star names, planet viewing, nebulae watching, and more, but there's nothing to install. 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

Stellarium Portable ScreenshotStellarium Portable is a free, open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. You can view the planets and gaze at the stars in stunning detail. Stellarium includes vivid illustrations of the constellations and a theatrical display of ravishing nebulae and galaxies. With Stellarium Portable, you can transform any computer into a stargazing centerpiece. Learn more about Stellarium...

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Stellarium 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.

Hello,

after downloading the file, I got a different md5-hash. Did my download go wrong or is the given md5-hash wrong?

Thanks,

Schdefoon

I have the right one.

Hi,

I tried several times with a fast connection - always with a few bytes missing.
New I used a (very) slow connection and it worked.

Thank you!
