Software Bisque The Seeker Astronomy Software for Mac

Seeker is an immersive and interactive three-dimensional solar simulator for your Macintosh OS X (Universal) or Windows computer. Experience simulated space flight and travel to, orbit and explore the Sun, Moon, planets, asteroids, and satellites with stunning realism. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

Seeker is an immersive experience like no other, with realistically simulated flybys, and loaded with fun and educational scripts, Seeker enlightens and provides a captivating 'edutainment' for anyone young and old, wishing to enjoy the wonders of our solar system.

If you own TheSky, you'll love Seeker!
