    Found this as a "promotional / recommended" program on my Ubuntu Linux system, so decided to install it there. And was immediately blown away! I then went to the home page and discovered Stellarium is available for Windows as well- so I installed it on my Windows-7 computer too! I've been watching that VERY bright star just after sunset (Jan/2012) ans assumed it was Venus. NO! Stellarium informs me it is Jupiter! (in solar conjunction more or less) THANX, STELLARIUM! Now, I'm next going out to buy a telescope.
