The heavens declare the glory of God

Chandler (7) has become interested in stars and constellations we enjoy going outside at night to identify the Big Dipper, etc.

It reminded me of a computer program that my friend, Philip Brown had when we were kids that would show the night sky as it appears on any particular night.

Anyway, I did some searching and found this free program, Stellarium. It is really awesome. I will warn you that my dinosaur computer at home will barely run it, but my computer at work does beautifully.

If you don't know your Latitude/Longitude, go to http://indo.com/distance/ and put in you town and state and it will return you Lat-Long.
