AlphaCentaure is a planetarium software which can be used in complement with the other astronomy programs.
The program features a view of the celestial sphere where we can see stars, extragalactic objects, constellations, planets, comets and asteroids. Also it features one graph displaying various elongations of the visible planets to the naked eye during one year, what allows to know for example at which moment Mercury is visible in the morning or in the evening, or still is i in conjunction with the other planets.
Moreover it provides a view of planets with regard to the Sun if the observer was placed outside of the solar system and a view representing the parts day and night of the planet
