When I first started writing this blog we were not yet into the full effect of the mobile, digital revolution. Since that time so many great tools have appeared and one I use almost every time I search the skies is Google Sky.
Google Sky is available in the Android Store or from the applications directory for your type of phone. You can also find more information about Google Sky from http://www.google.com/sky/about.html where you will have the choice to view Google Sky inside of Google Earth.
The Android mobile version has helped us learn much about the night sky. Although it does not include man-made satellites like Starry Night or Stellarium (for Linux) it does include a massive listing of celestial bodies as well as Messier objects and even outlines and names the constellations. It does have the ability to toggle between day and night display which helps greatly for night viewing.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
As a side note, not that I am into Astrology but it is rather obvious, Mercury, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and the sun are aligned with Aquarius. For what that is worth.
