    The freeware Stellarium is also well worth a look. Will allow you to look around a virtual night sky as it is at that exact moment in time, showing locations of stars, planets, constellations, even satellites (including the International Space Station):

    Apart from 3 or 4 pages it's identical to the 2012 version. Aside from that it certainly doesn't warrant a new post.

    For anyone interested in this sort of thing, check out Google sky maps (free app on google Play store)

    You hold your smartphone up and it shows you what stars you are looking at..

    You can do the same with Stellarium, it has a phone version as well as the PC version (they also have a Symbian version for us Nokia users :) )
