Software Bisque Featured on Seeing in the Dark


Timothy Ferris’ high-definition television spectacular on amateur astronomy and the wonders of the night sky returns to PBS with a high-definition HDTV broadcast on Wednesday, June 11, 2008 and again Thursday, June 12, 2008. (visit the PBS web site for local show times).

When the show premiered, on September 19, 2007, critics called it “a rhapsodic sight-and-sound odyssey into the night sky” (Associated Press) by “the greatest science writer of his generation” (The New York Times). 

 

Commenting on the new airdate, Ferris said he hoped that the second national showing would continue to attract teachers and students to the program website, http://www.pbs.org/seeinginthedark.  Millions of viewers have seen the film, and hundreds of thousands have visited the website, taking advantage of its resources for teachers, students, and families. 
 
The website’s most popular features include customizable star charts (based on Software Bisque's TheSkyX Student Edition) for every visitor’s time and location; astronomy activities that you can download for use in classrooms, in summer camps, and with families; and the Seeing in the Dark Internet Telescope.  “The Internet Telescope [a Software Bisque Paramount ME] is available free of charge to all students and teachers,” Ferris noted.  “Just request an object through the website and we will shoot an image and email it back to you, usually within a few days.”  During the summer, summer school and summer camp instructors and students can also use the telescope.

BBC Sky at Night Magazine Gives Seeker a 4 out of 5 Stars Rating

"Software Bisque has a formidable reputation for TheSky, it's earth based planetarium software," writes Giles Sparrow in his review of Seeker in the February issue of BBC Sky at Night Magazine. "Seeker takes things to another level, literally.  From planets and moons to the International Space Station, the whole thing looks beautiful."
