WikiSky Interactive Sky Map

This is an amazing sky map. You can change the surveying mode, like Ultraviolet, Hydrogen Alpha, and Infrared, in the top left corner. Sky Map mode lets you see the stars like you typically would in a photo. You can zoom in and out and drag the map around to see different parts of space. It's very easy to get caught up in looking at all the star clusters and nebulae, and I spent over an hour doing just that. It is quite addictive! Click here to go to WikiSky.
