    "Welcome to Celestia ... The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. "

    Celestia is great - and it works in tandem with Stellarium - some more freeware - we started our students off with an examination of the Earth (Stellarium) and how it relates to the Solar System and then you can move on to Celestia - a chance to explore further out into space

    http://www.stellarium.org/ check this out - we have both Stellarium and Celestia on the student image - "Stellarium 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. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go." both freeware
