Reviews:

CD-ROM Today, March 1996

"Playing Galileo is sure a heck of a lot easier (not to mention warmer) using RedShift 2, the new version of Maris' award-winning astronomy program."

"RedShift 2 will show you customizable, highly accurate views of the heavens from just about any location in the solar system for any year - from roughly 5,000 BC to 10,000 AD. You get data for 250,000 stars, asteroids, and comets, as well as 40,000 nebulae, galaxies, and other deep-space objects. You can print detailed star charts to take with you to the backyard or bring to the classroom."

"RedShift 2's interface is incredibly powerful and flexible, but newcomers beware - you'll need to run the excellent new Guided Tours to figure out how to use it."
