Celestia Portable is a space simulation software that lets you explore planets, moons, and stars right from your Windows PC. It's free and lightweight that it takes no time to install and can be used immediately. The controls can require a little bit of time to get used to, but it is robust and helpful to pinpoint where exactly in the universe you want to explore. There is a feature called "Tour Guide" that includes several planets and stars you can choose from to get up close to those planetary bodies. But perhaps the most useful feature comes with the "Solar System Browser" where it lists all the planets, satellites, as well as other points of interest in our solar system. Once you pick your desired destination, Celestia Portable makes a seamless pan and zoom to the next location, making you feel as if you're really there and you're really traveling through space. This software is definitely a must for future junior astronauts, scientists, and everyone who is curious to explore space.
