+Pkg-Description: a tool for viewing and editing FITS format files
+ Fv provides a graphical user interface to data stored in FITS
+ (Flexible Image Transport System) files.  Local files can be created,
+ viewed and edited, files on the internet can be opened read-only
+ through the http and ftp protocols.  Through the POWplot program,
+ FITS data can be visualized in a large variety of styles.  An
+ interface to the SkyView online database allows for searching,
+ downloading, and plotting of images and object lists for a region of
+ the sky.

+Pkg-Description: image display tool for astronomy
+ DS9 is an application for astronomical imaging and data
+ visualization.
+ .
+ DS9 is the modern imtool used by astronomers.  It is most
+ distinguished by its support for displaying images of high dynamic
+ range (such as 16 bit greyscale FITS files).  Whereas many other
+ tools will only read an approximation to such files, DS9 works in
+ full precision, and uses various display parameters to map input data
+ into 8 bit data which can be displayed on the screen.
+ .
+ Available parameters for the mapping include: brightness, contrast,
+ false color, and nonlinear input mapping (such as logarithm, square
+ root, square, etc.)
+ .
+ Although it may be useful in other fields, DS9 includes a fair number
+ of features specific to astronomy.  There is an astronomical "name
+ resolver" which allows a lookup of an arbitrary named object to its
+ coordinates.  Given the coordinates of a field, online archive
+ servers may be queried, and an image retrieved.  DS9 thusly
+ implements a preliminary "Virtual Observatory".
+ .
+ DS9 is entirely controllable from external programs ("XPA"), which
+ simplifies complex tasks such as data acquisition, realtime display,
+ and batch analysis.
+ .
+ If images include WCS (World Coordinate System) keywords, then they
+ may be "blinked" to search for moving or changing objects.

+Pkg-URL: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/ssystem/
+Homepage: http://www1.las.es/~amil/ssystem
+Description: 3D solar system simulator
+ An OpenGL Solar System simulator which includes the sun, the nine
+ planets, a few major satellites, and background stars.
+ .
+ This package has since been rewritten and repackaged as Celestia,
+ but since that package has significantly higher hardware requirements
+ than ssystem does, this package is being kept around.  Celestia
+ has a better looking solar system, more options, and unlike ssystem,
+ is actually still being worked on, so you probably only want to use
+ this if you have older hardware that cannot run Celestia at a
+ reasonable speed.
