Stellarium

I really enjoyed Stellarium. It was interesting to be able to trace back to the night of my birth to see what the sky looked like. I really think this program is a great resource for teaching about the stars, galaxies, and much other things like planets, because the program shows real time images. Students like to see the real thing and Stallarium is just that. I also like Stallarium because it allows for experimentation and play. You can do neat things like go back in time or fast-forward.
