For years I've used "Dance of the Planets" as a valuable amateur astronomy reference tool and astronomy software toy, but sadly, the author of this piece of software stopped updating it some years ago. Likewise, I enjoyed playing around with Microsoft's "Space Simulator", and was disappointed that it wasn't commercially successful enough to support further development. So I'm wondering what recommendations folks on the list might have for top-quality current-generation astronomy and space simulation software.
