They probably don't keep a compiles version on their website. Because of the number of systems that KDE runs on they would have to keep hundreds of versions.
Use the (k)ubuntu package manger (synaptic? "add/remove applications" menu entry?), it should be there, it may not be an entire package in its own right though it might be installed as part of a kde-edu package. I use Mandriva rather than (k)ubuntu so I'm not familiar with their package manager, but I'm sure you can do a search from within it for 'kstars', though you might have to look at the search options if it isn't a package in its own right.
