Well now! If it's Stellarium you wish it is Stellarium you shall have! The authors of that software are not American so are not Microslothcentric. And they have an Ubuntu version. Since Mint is Ubuntu based, any Ubuntu program will run flawlessly under Mint.
I wouldn't be surprised if Stellarium were not available already in the Synaptic Package manager. If it is not
this link will set you up with connecting Stellarium's PPA to Synaptic, which will treat it just like all your other software. If, when you log on in the morning, there is an update available, Synaptic will offer you the ability to download the update, or even install it automatically if you configure it that way.
