If you thought viewing the sky and stars with Stellarium was something to write home about, wait until you give its portable counterpart, Portable Stellarium, a try. Yes, the sky will be just as blue, and the stars equally bright, but the added portability means you'll be able to show these findings to many more individuals than you could with the usual program. The program is just as cool with the added perk of not leaving behind too many leftover files.

Portable Stellarium, just like in the case of its installable counterpart is an innovative app indeed. This application can truly explain to any individual how star formation appears to us from our puny perspective, whilst also showing how names were given to these conglomerations of stars. It's simple to use and approachable. It's a great school and study material, even more so now when installing it on tons of machines will not be a problem anymore. The lightweight factor of the app has been improved with said portability since it was already pretty easy on PC components.

The program does sport a pretty modern interface. It will kick into full-screen mode just as you launch the app. There won't be any stutters or glitches since the program seems to have been developed quite well. Dedication is certainly something the developers of this app did not lack. The program's menus are clear. You can choose to enjoy many types of simulations, if one may call them that. There are lenses to choose from, sensors, and even telescope views. It's as if you own all possible star-exploring gadgets when running this app from your USB drive.

The bottom line with Portable Stellarium is that if you're into stars, space, and generally celestial body arrangement on the sky, this program can definitely accommodate you with what you're accustomed to and even teach you a few new tricks and facts.
