Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Pulsars, quasars, the patterns that galaxies make across the known universe--it's only in a 3D format like this that astronomical concepts like these truly come to life. Like its cousin product Earth 3D, The Cosmos 3D is a nifty digital collection of animations and printable illustrations and text resources on everything from the Earth and the Solar System to galaxies.
Pulsars, quasars, the patterns that galaxies make across the known universe--it's only in a 3D format like this that astronomical concepts like these truly come to life. Like its cousin product Earth 3D, The Cosmos 3D is a nifty digital collection of animations and printable illustrations and text resources on everything from the Earth and the Solar System to galaxies.
Often reminiscent of Carl Sagan's Cosmos series, the animations are accompanied by voiceovers and music--they are at once beautiful and informative. If you're less of a cosmological aesthete, you'll prefer the comprehensive dictionary of astronomical terms, its powerful search function, and the encyclopedia-like database of cross-referenced articles. Possibly the best feature of the package is the Star Navigator that displays the night-time sky from Earth, adjusting for seasonal variations.
Caveats: The interface is at times clunky. Also, some of the language on the packaging and in the Install Shield dialog boxes is gibberish because Glaskar skimped on its German-to-English translations. Rest assured, however, that once installed the articles in the product itself are well-written and clear, with high school seniors or college freshmen as the target audience. Overall, this is a fun and educational item--great for learning, reference, or indoor star gazing on a cloudy night. --Erik Macki, amazon.com
