I am all about the stars.
Just downloaded ‘Stellarium’ tonight.
Had to share.
Even the desktop icon is cool for this program.
If you like stars and the night sky this program is nuckin’ futs.
It’s a big file (@40megs) but totally worth it.
I’ve been trolling the sky for the past half hour.
Click on the picture above and enjoy.
Any guesses as to the constellation up there?
(Moe, don’t bother)

Enjoy . . .

   Polaris? I’m only guessing that because it’s my favourite and I like saying “Polaris”.

   I like saying Betelgeuse . . . (say it 3X!)

   My guess is it’s the Southern Cross – one I’ve never seen. But it just doesn’t seem right, me being in the South and all…

   Gotta be in the Southern hemisphere, L
   They see this sucker almost every night in Australia.
   One thing they’ve never seen is Orion which is magnificent in the winter months.

   It’s all awesome beyond words, and leaves me feeling very, very tiny indeed.

   Your comment reminded me of the Steve Martin album, “Let’s Get Small”
   It is an awesome link.
   I mess with it nightly.
