If you don't have a telescope and want to see what the stars look like outside... wow this is really cool software for free......

Haven't downloaded it yet Susan but did go to that weblink.
That link goes straight to a download page; my humble apologies for stepping on your link, but here is the MAIN
webpage.
http://www.stellarium.org/The page you put up looks like it is geared for 'linux' and the Mac computer.
Great find though and I may just grab a version for Windows.....
My reason for grabbing it ? I am curious about something. Right now we are in the age of Pisces. When the sun rises in the East every day,
supposedly the constellation of Pisces is behind the sun or near it....... When the age of Aquarius starts, supposedly the constellation
of Aquarius will be behind the sun in the east at sunrise. Sooooooo, I wonder if I can see when that will be within this Stellarium
program you pointed out..... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the weblink !
