It looks very interesting. It says it has access to 600,000 stars and with extra catalogues up to 210 million. Wow! I wasn’t aware of Stellarium and will download it. It looks very interesting.

It's sort of like Google Earth for space, because it is totally 3D and has excellent coverage of loads of different bodies. For 2D planetarium software - more useful than Celestia if you're trying to work out what the constellations above your head are - I'd recommend Stellarium. Like Celestia, it's free and open source.
