You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Stellarium''' is a [[Free and open-source software|free and open-source]] [[planetarium software|planetarium]], licensed under the terms of the [[GNU General Public License]] version 2, available for [[Linux]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], and [[macOS]]. A port of Stellarium called Stellarium Mobile is available for Android, iOS, and Symbian as a paid version, being developed by Noctua Software. These have a limited functionality, lacking some features of the desktop version. All versions use [[OpenGL]] to render a realistic projection of the [[night sky]] in [[Real-time computer graphics|real time]].((citation needed|date=April 2018))

Stellarium was featured on [[SourceForge]] in May 2006 as ''Project of the Month''.<ref name="sf-potm">((cite web |date=May 2006 |title=Project of the Month – May 2006 – Stellarium |url=http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2006-05.php |access-date=September 25, 2008 |website=[[SourceForge]] |publisher=))</ref>

== History ==
In 2006, Stellarium 0.7.1 won a gold award in the Education category of the [[Les Trophées du Libre]] [[free software]] competition.<ref>((cite web |title=The third Free Software Awards placed under the sign of the international |url=http://tropheesdulibre2006.org/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081221013442/http://tropheesdulibre2006.org/ |archive-date=December 21, 2008 |access-date=February 16, 2009 |work=Les Trophées du Libre 2006 website |language=fr))</ref>

A modified version of Stellarium has been used by the [[MeerKAT]] project as a virtual sky display showing where the antennae of the radiotelescope are pointed.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ska.ac.za/newsletter/issues/12/12.php |title=Virtual sky display in MeerKAT control room |publisher=Ska.ac.za |access-date=June 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423154836/http://www.ska.ac.za/newsletter/issues/12/12.php |archive-date=April 23, 2012 ))</ref>

In December 2011, Stellarium was added as one of the "featured applications" in the [[Ubuntu Software Center]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://developer.ubuntu.com/2011/12/software-centre-app-picks-for-december/ |title=Software Centre app picks for December |website=Ubuntu App Developer |publisher=Developer.ubuntu.com |date=December 14, 2011 |access-date=June 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626201455/http://developer.ubuntu.com/2011/12/software-centre-app-picks-for-december/ |archive-date=June 26, 2012 ))</ref>

=== Planetarium dome projection ===
The fisheye and spherical mirror distortion features allow Stellarium to be projected onto domes.  Spherical mirror distortion is used in projection systems that use a digital [[video projector]] and a first surface convex [[spherical mirror]] to project images onto a [[dome]]. Such systems are generally cheaper than traditional [[planetarium projector]]s and [[fish-eye lens]] projectors and for that reason are used in budget and home planetarium setups where projection quality is less important.((citation needed|date=April 2018))

Various companies which build and sell digital planetarium systems use Stellarium, such as ''e-Planetarium''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.e-planetarium.com/stellarium.htm|title=Stellarium Planetarium Software|work=E-Planetarium website|access-date=February 15, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201071949/http://www.e-planetarium.com/stellarium.htm|archive-date=December 1, 2008))</ref>((primary source inline|date=July 2019))

''Digitalis Education Solutions'', which helped develop Stellarium, created a fork called [[Nightshade (astronomy software)|Nightshade]] which was specifically tailored to planetarium use.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.digitaliseducation.com/products-nightshade.html|title=Nightshade Astronomy Simulation Software|work=Digitalis Education Solutions official website|access-date=January 11, 2010))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.nightshadesoftware.org|title=Nightshade Astronomy Simulator|work=Nightshade official website|access-date=January 11, 2010))</ref>((primary source inline|date=July 2019))

=== VirGO ===
VirGO is a Stellarium plugin, a visual browser for the [[European Southern Observatory]] (ESO) Science Archive Facility which allows astronomers to browse professional astronomical data. It is no longer supported or maintained; the last version was 1.4.5, dated January 15, 2010.<ref name="eso-virgo">((cite web|url=http://archive.eso.org/cms/tools-documentation/visual-archive-browser.html|title=VirGO, The Visual Archive Browser|publisher=ESO Science Archive Facility|access-date=November 21, 2012))</ref>((primary source inline|date=July 2019))

== Stellarium Mobile ==
Stellarium Mobile is a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] of Stellarium, developed by some of the Stellarium team members. It currently targets mobile devices running [[Symbian]], [[Maemo]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]], and [[iOS]]. Some of the mobile optimisations have been integrated into the mainline Stellarium product.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.noctua-software.com/stellarium-mobile |title=Stellarium Mobile |publisher=Noctua Software |access-date=March 14, 2014 |archive-date=March 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140314141711/http://www.noctua-software.com/stellarium-mobile |url-status=dead ))</ref>((primary source inline|date=July 2019))((dead link|date=July 2019))
