Sky Chart - Do you ever wonder what the sky looked like
directly over your head in, say, 1639? The Sky Chart, from Sky & Telescope magazine, can show you. You can simulate the view from any spot on earth, according to the magazine. And you can see today's view, or go all the way back to 1600. In fact, you can see future skies through 2400. The site uses pop-ups. So you will need to turn off your pop-up blocker for the full effect. |
