Welcome to the astronomy page and try the program ASTRONOM!

Compute with ASTRONOM 11  the celestial sphere of the Sun, Moon and planets from 1 A.D. to 3500 A.D.

(Improvement from 10 : new format for transmitting data (connection to Celia : please download new Celia) ; Improvement from 9.4 : altitude information for your graphical location ; New routines for atmospheric refraction, including the dip of the horizon ; Improvement from 9.3 : Time locator of the Lunar phases, rising / setting times of the Moon; Presetting options ; Improvement from 9.2 : Speed locator. More data of solar eclipses ; Improvement from 9.1 : Resizable graphic part ; Improvement from 9.0 : Better control by keys solar system , better way to adapt new values of Delta_T and information about actual leap seconds.  Improvement from Astronom 8.4 : Better way to locate daylight saving times (DST) ;  synchronizing the time from internet (atomic) time servers ; more accuracy in delta_T . Improvement from Astronom 8.3 : Astronomical assistant ; more data about Lunar eclipses . Improvement from Astronom 8.2 : More relevant data about delta_T ; Moon librations ; more print options.)

ASTRONOM provides a host of data on the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets seen from anywhere on Earth. Information, plotted on an altazimuth chart and accompanying tables, includes local sunrise and sunset times, solar disk size, Earth-Sun distance, Moon phases, equatorial coordinates, a planetary ephemeris, and an eclipse locator. The positions of the planets may be changed in steps of a second, minute, hour, day, week, and month, or follow the system clock. The software is available from the Internet for a maximum of 3-month evaluation period. PC requirements: Pentium III 600 MHz processor, Windows 95¹,98 / ME, NT ,  2000 / XP/ Vista / Win 7 .    64 megabytes free RAM, 10 megabytes hard-disk space, 800 x 600 true color display and a connection to the internet.

WARNING: ASTRONOM is preliminary tested with  MS VISTA. Some problems/ irregularties occurs. (click bugfixes for more details).

This site contains information and a program (self extracting Zip file: ASTRONOM.EXE of 1.4MB). Click the download button. If you are interested in astronomy and particular into planetary programs with a simple user interface, then you will certainly like this site! Besides a simplified user interface ASTRONOM contains an open structure to export data. Downloading and installing the program ASTRONOM is totally safe and does not alter the settings of your computer. Later if required it can easily be removed from your fixed disk.   ... And the program is FREE for evaluation for a couple of months

IMPORTANT : This version of ASTRONOM can't be executed on older Windows systems, such as WINDOWS 3.11 ;   ^*1)Latest version of WSOCK32.DLL are needed if you are using Windows 95 

I hope you will enjoy the program ASTRONOM! 

Position of the Moon on 14th August 2001 at 01:56:33 am (UT)    (longitude = E 5.133334 deg.  ; latitude = N 52.083334 deg.) ; Delta_T =64.209117 s
