Stargaze at work with Wikisky

If you've been annoyed that Google Maps only works for locations on the Earth, Moon and Mars, you might want to check out Wikisky. It's sort of like Google Maps for the sky.

What you get is a click and drag interface for checking out constellations and individual stars. If you zoom in all the way, you'll often find yourself staring at a black space. But unlike real space, if you scream, your officemates probably will hear you.

One of the niftier features of Wikisky is the ability to enter an address and see what the sky would look like if you looked up. Assuming, of course, you have a window in your ceiling. And that it's night time, and you don't live in a city where the streetlights drown out the night sky.
