Santa Maria Celeste
Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, Santa Maria Celeste or Santa Maria della Celestia was a Roman Catholic church in Venice, facing the Campo de la Celestia in the Castello district, just east of San Francesco della Vigna. It was dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. History It was founded in 1119 by the Celsi and completed in 1239 during Jacopo Tiepolo's term as doge. In 1237 it was annexed by a Cistercian nunnery that had moved from Piacenza to Venice, a cell of the Abbey of Chiaravalle della Colomba. Its nuns soon became known for immorality and were repeatedly (but in vain) reprimanded by the church authorities. Early in the 16th century they moved under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Castello. In 1569 a fire broke out in the nearby Arsenal, damaging the church. In 1581 work began on a rebuild to designs by Vincenzo Scamozzi inspired by Rome's Pantheon. However, the architect and the nuns fell out and the project ground to a halt. In 1606 the church was razed again and re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Celestia - De Barbari
Celestia is a real-time 3D astronomy software program that was created in 2001 by Chris Laurel. The program allows users to virtually travel through our universe and explore real objects that have been catalogued. Celestia also doubles as a planetarium, but the user is not restricted to the Earth's surface, like in other planetarium software such as Stellarium (software), Stellarium. To summarize, Celestia is a scientifically accurate 3D universe simulator, that is also highly customizable. Celestia can display objects of various scales using OpenGL,There are three graphical front-ends available: OpenGL Utility Toolkit, GLUT, GTK+ or Qt (software), Qt. and the user can seamlessly transition between different scales, from entire galaxies to spacecraft a few meters across.
