There have been a lot of mapping applications recently, see this consolidated set of services. So, whats next, its wikisky. A mapping app of the universe with lots of details. I have been a big fan of all things space right from space shuttles, star trek , star wars, x files all the way up to Men in Black ( who hasn’t). But thats where my obsession ends and reality begins to dawn. Gazing at a night sky is still as intriguing to me as it was ten years ago and I was only more than surprised at these applications.
There is the wonderful open source stellarium which is used by many planetariums nowadays, but wikisky was just amazing. check it out
