  This file lists some of the main features of the floppy disc version of <i>Earth in Space</i>. The <a href="EIS-CD">CD-ROM version</a> naturally contains much more - at the time of writing over ten times more, which looks set to increase to maybe ten times more by the addition of maybe a hundred 'movies' and animations, compromising NASA MPEGs, FLI animations and Acorn Replay files. 
<p>
<ul>
  <li> Databases on the planets and moons of the Solar System, containing 
(where possible) images of the aforesaid planets/moons.
<br>
  <li> Charts, stored within the database !Planets, showing how the planets 
line up in terms of length of day etc.
<br>
  <li> Databases on the main manned and unmanned space missions launched to 
date.
<br>
  <li> A database on the main comets
<br>
  <li> A database on the main asteroids
<br>
  <li> A database on the brightest stars.
<br>
  <li> A database on the constellations.
<br>
  <li> All the information within the databases duplicated in either Text 
or Draw format, for those who don't have  <a href="../PD/PBase">Powerbase</a>, the database used to
store the information.
<br>
  <li> Drawfiles on various astronomical phenomenae (black holes, supernovae,
nebulae, globular clusters etc.).
<br>
  <li> A drawfile containing images of the planets taken by Voyager 1 when it
was about 4 billion miles from Earth - the first ever 'portrait' of the
Solar System.
<br>
  <li> Drawfiles on various space missions (Voyager, Mars Pathfinder etc.), the
Mir space station and, of course, the Hubble space telescope. 
<br>
  <li> A collection of resources, compromising MPEGs and stills, on the life of stars.
<br>
  <li> FLI animations and MPEGs on the subject of space, mostly from NASA, along
with the appropriate playing software.
</ul>
