astroterm is a terminal-based planetarium written in C that renders real-time positions of stars, planets, constellations, and moon phases as ASCII art. Users can configure sky views by date, time, and location for accurate celestial visualization.

Use cases

  • view the night sky from my terminal
  • check planet positions for a given date and location
  • render constellations as ascii art
  • terminal screensaver showing stars
  • see moon phases in the command line
  • explore past or future celestial events without a telescope

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, fast terminal-based star map with accurate rendering
  • you prefer ASCII/TUI visuals over graphical planetarium apps
  • you need customizable date, time, and location sky views on Linux/macOS

When to avoid

  • you need high-resolution graphical sky rendering or telescope control
  • you want deep astronomical computation beyond visual star maps
  • you need a GUI planetarium experience
