http://www.stellarium.org Make sure to go to the .org site. I downloaded the free OpenSource software quickly and installed it easily. It was soooooooo cool that I woke my sleeping husband up (it was 1am) to come look at it!
I used to make inflatable plantetariums with my K-8 rural classrooms and then use a little star projector. Stellarium is the way-pro version of that project! I then jumped on Yahoo groups to the plantaterium folks and got great new ideas for building plantetariums with kids, tying it all into the curriculum, etc.
It makes me want to get back to a classroom to it out---------or at least inspire YOU do use it with your students!!
