Three words for you, friends: Google Sky Map (for Android, so it’s actually five words).

It is absolutely genius, makes this a lot of fun, and I don’t have to get a stiff neck from looking up to the sky and down to my printouts of night sky maps anymore.

You point your phone to the sky, and it tells you what it is that you’re looking at. Stars, planets, constellations, the moon, even the sun.

It is incredible, and I will soon be able to mark this goal as finished, after all these years and frustrating previous attempts! YAY!!
