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."
