Since the invention of the personal computer, the planetarium concept has been extended to include software that displays a realistic sky image. Not all astronomy software can be considered to be planetarium software. While there is no generally accepted definition of the word planetarium in this context, planetarium software generally contains the following features at a minimum:
A realistic sky image as seen from Earth
The ability to display sky motions in real-time
The ability to animate time changes backwards and forwards
