Confused by the multitude of stars in the night sky, and the fact they vary from month to month and place to place?
No need.
Click on the link "NIGHT MAP" in the BG Links section, enter your location and time-zone, and the entire night sky is mapped out for you - (the little window in the top lhs is the most user friendly).
So.... now you'll know what stars / planets / comets you're looking at, whenever you like!(should you ever like)?!
NB. You WILL need the latest java download (free) though, to make the link work.
In case you don't have java, at the moment, for your information...
