...But I found this very interesting.

I found this 11MB program called "Celestia. Install it and run it, and it will show you the earth and the stars around it. Not only that, but you can actually explore the galaxy and look at other stars, etc. I found it really interesting.

Also, while I was snooping around, I noticed this:

If you look out at night, there is a good chance you will see this. The larger circle with the 3 stars in it always points north (or south, I forget which). So if you ever get stuck on a mountain... (OK...It's useless info., but interesting still)

Enjoy Smile
