What is Nine Worlds Hosted by Patrick Stewart?

Trekkies back off. Nine Worlds hosted by Star Trek: The Next Generation’s, Patrick Stewart, has nothing to do with your campy cult show—there are no sexy aliens in this space story. But, there are a slew of interesting factoids and historical essays for the average Joe Astronomer.

If you’re looking for a comprehensive guide to the planets, you’ll probably be disappointed by the skimpy data show on this disc. But, cool planetary factoids and a fun travel bit offer at least enough to impress your friends the next time you go stargazing.

Longer essays covering man’s reaction to astronomy over the ages do lend some substance to this educational lightweight. Interesting info, even if it’s slightly text-heavy.

Other offerings include a small, but enticing, collection of shareware, a tiresome trivia game, a nifty factoid of the day, and direct online access to astronomy sites that include NASA and the Jet Propulsion Labs.

Unknown Author. (October 1996). CD-ROMs. MacAddict. (pg. 69).
