What kind of software is Stellarium?
Stellarium is a program that can show you exactly what you'd see if you were looking up at the sky at night. It is considered a planetarium software because of this.
How do you observe solar system?
buy a telescope. You could also, go to a planetarium or use a planetarium program on a computer or even just go to NASA's website and look at the deep space images there.Obviously it's not as good as seeing it for real, but it is a lot warmer (from experience) than standing outside all night. If you're up for a real challenge you could arrange a visit to an observatory. Most will do open days for enthusiastic junior astronomers and there are quite a few around from really big ones to small ones in colleges and universities.
What part of the sky is Saturn located in?
Saturn is the sixth planet out from the Sun, while Earth is in closer, at #3. Since both the Earth and Saturn are orbiting the Sun at different speeds, Saturn's position in our night sky moves a little each day. (The very word "planet" comes from the Greek word for "wanderer".) This question was posted on April 28, 2013, and Saturn is just about lined up with the Sun and the Earth, so Saturn is currently visible high in the night sky around midnight. Saturn rises around sunset and sets around dawn, so it is visible all night long. I recommend the free, open-source planetarium program Stellarium if you would like to see where Saturn is relative to the stars.
How do you identify a celestial object in the night sky?
An experienced astronomer will recognize the stars and the constellations; he would either know from experience, for the brighter stars, or be able to look it up in a reference guide for the dimmer stars. Anything that isn't part of the pattern of fixed stars is either a planet, an asteroid or a comet. A little observation with a telescope will tell you which. For the rest of us, I recommend a planetarium program called Stellarium, available for free online at stellarium.org. This is the program that I use whenever someone asks a question like this. :-)

How do you describe a planetarium?
A planetarium is a theatre of the Universe. It can surround you with an accurate image of the sparkling night sky. It can show all the motions and cycles of the sky. It can create a multi-media experience with slides, video, visual effects, computer animations, narration, and music that reveal the wonders of the cosmos to you and your class or group. It can interpret the Universe in a way that appeals to both the mind and eye. The Planetarium will introduce your students to a life-long acquaintance with the sky and the Universe.

If you want to see them as they actually appear to us, just go outdoors on a clear night. For very good presentations on the wonders of the sky, check out your local planetarium.

Yes. I actually have them in my house and after learning that they are a good pest to have around, I really do not bother them and they do not bother me.
