PlanetFinder
Jun 20th, 2007 by admin
If you are an astronomer or you just like to look at the sky then PlanetFinder migh be useful for you. PlanetFinder can show you the locations of the planets, stars, moon, and sun in the sky from any location and for any date and time. This is a Symbian port of a famous Java Applet with the same name that can be found at: http://www.lightandmatter.com/area2planet.shtml.
To use PlanetFinder, you will need to know your location (the latitude and longitude). Planet Finder already has a database of major cities of the world, but if your city is not listed, you can find the latitude and longitude information using GPS, or just look your City at Wikipedia. Wikipedia has information about longitude and latitude of most cities in the world.
