Can I use Stellarium screenshots in my book/website/calendar etc?
Probably. Please have a read of this thread in the forums which discusses the legal implications of using Stellarium screenshots. If you are embarking on a commercial venture, you should probably talk to a lawyer and/or your publisher about it. [edit]”There is no year 0″, or “BC dates are a year out” Stellarium 0.9.1 and later uses astronomical year numbering. The conventional BC/AD (or BCE/CE) scheme has no year 0 because at the time of it’s creation, Europeans were widely ignorant of the concept of the number zero, thus the year before 1 AD is 1 BC. This makes arithmetic awkward, and for this reason astronomers often use a different scheme, referring to AD dates as a positive integer, and re-designating 1 BC/BCE as the year 0.
