PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Digital Universe is a complete astronomy program for the amateur
or professional observer. It combines the advantages of traditional
"planetarium" programs with a massive hypertext multimedia encyclopedia
to create an effective tool which assists the user in observing and
learning about the heavens. 50,000 lines of code, more than 800 pages
of hypertext, and thousands of man-hours have gone into this product to
make it the most complete program of its class. The software would not
have been possible without the generous assistance of countless
individuals from the Canadian Space Agency,
the National Research Council of Canada,
NASA,
JPL,
NORAD,
the European Space Agency,
the Bureau des Longitudes,
the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory,
the Russian Academy of Sciences,
and several other organizations worldwide.
