KStars is a planetarium program that runs under GNU/Linux and other Unix like operating systems. It is part of KDE.

It provides an accurate graphical representation of the night sky, from any location on Earth, at any date and time. The display includes up to 126,000 stars, 13,000 deep sky objects, all 88 constellations, all 8 planets, the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids. It has features to appeal to users of all levels, from informative hypertext articles about astronomy, to robust control of telescopes and CCD cameras, and logging of observations of specific objects.

The latest version of KStars is 1.2.0, released with KDE 3.5.2.

KStars is distributed with KDE as part of the kdeedu "Edutainment" module. Occasionally, independent releases will be available as a gzipped tar archive from the following website: [2].

KStars has been packaged by many Linux/BSD distributions, including Red Hat Linux, Suse, Mandriva, and Debian. Some distributions package KStars as a separate application, some just provide a kdeedu package, which includes KStars.
