Astropro's Website Of the Week Award ©2001 by Richard Nolle

MAR 26, 2001 - Distant Suns is much more than a website where you can learn about and buy the astronomy software of the same name - although that alone may be reason enough to visit. After all, Distant Suns is a very complete and capable home planetarium suite, in versions for Windows and Mac platforms. Whether you get the free demo download or the modestly-priced CD-ROM edition, you've got yourself some of the finest astronomy software available. A couple other goodies that might just grab your attention include a desktop theme for Windows users, as well as a screen saver - both free for the downloading and thoroughly cosmic, of course. There's also an online message board for users of Distant Suns, to help you get the most out of your software.

Technical note: Web Site Garage rates Distant Suns good over-all and fair in load time (27.91 seconds with a 28.8k modem). In comparison, the page you're now reading rates good in both categories, with a load time of 11.39 seconds at 28.8k.
