I love heading to the planetarium since it's the only place I can really see the stars through all the lights of the city. But making the trek out there (and paying the entrance fee) makes this a special occasion destination. However, I can still get the same cool effects at home with Stellarium.
A free download, Stellarium lets you browse the universe, see the stars from your current coordinates, and even sit back and check out the sights from the Mars Rover. In a way, it's better than the planetarium, since you can look for specific stars and planets, and match up the constellations to the signs of the zodiac.
Want to see what the stars look like right now from Hamberg? Go ahead, it's only a click away.

I just shared it with all of the science teachers at my school.
It's AMAZING!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I installed the program on my Windows Vista Home Premium computer (plenty of RAM, fast CPU). Everything works fine except for the windows invoked by the F keys (e.g., F1 for Help). These windows show up as unintelligible horizontal lines. Any suggestions how to fix this?
