Version 2 of this multimedia astronomy/planetarium product.

The wealth of information in RedShift 2 is extensive, containing approximately 250,000 stars, 40,000 deep sky objects (e.g., galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters -- things outside our own Milky Way galaxy), 5,011 asteroids, about 100 comets, and models of the nine planetary systems (planets and moons) for our own solar system. Stars with magnitude between -1.6 to 12 may be displayed. (From this review)

RedShift 1.2

In 1994, RedShift was the world's most popular multimedia astronomy program on the planet. It still holds up pretty good today. With RedShift you can explore the Solar System and beyond, and simulate astronomical events over a 15,000 year period, and much more. You can pause any animation and click anything (stars, nebulae, planets, moons etc) to pull up info on that object. Much of the text has hyperlinks leading to even more info and perhaps even better RedShift contains a complete online Penguin Dictionary of Astronomy.
