Take a look at those two programs, they might be able to hep you. I really cant think of any programs that are 3d, but good luck.

Well there are a few, but hardly for 3 D ... what do you need 3 d for ? If it is given, proportions are fasified anyway ... and even with a good amatuer's telescope you will hardly be able to recognize the universe in 3 D.
