The Sky ScreenSaver will show the sky above any location on Earth, including stars (from the Yale Bright Star Catalogue of more than 9 stars to the 7th magnitude), the Moon in its correct phase and position in the sky, and the position of the Sun and all the planets in the sky.

Outlines, boundaries, and names of constellations can be displayed, as well as names and Bayer/Flamsteed designations of stars brighter than a given threshold. A database of more than 500 deep-sky objects, including all the Messier objects and bright NGC objects can be plotted to a given magnitude. The ecliptic and celestial equator can be plotted, complete with co-ordinates.

To fulfill its mission as a screen saver, the sky map shifts position on the display every 10 minutes to avoid burning in those few components of the display which do not move as the Earth revolves.

The Sky Screen Saver is in the public domain. You can do anything you like with it.

What better way to protect your monitor's phosphor than by smashing rocks into it at dozens of kilometres per second? This directory contains a Windows screen saver named “Craters” that will simulate cratering of initially flat terrain, obeying the same power-law relating crater size to number observed on airless solar system bodies.
