This is looking south-southwest using Vancouver, B.C. as the default location, and showing the sky as it was a few minutes ago. And for all you star-gazers who would like your own copy of this, it's here and it's open-source freeware. Think of it as Google Earth for the sky, because that's about it. You can zoom in on things, and explore the universe, without leaving home. Did I mention it was just updated and it works great on Windows 7 ? Enjoy !Saturday, May 30, 2009
