What is a good program for viewing stars/space on computer?

Like I'm looking up at the stars.

Preferably free... and able to change where i am looking from (coordinates).

Answer 1

google earth w/ sky feature. best program ever for viewing stars, galaxies, and even planets. 100% free.

or celestria. google celestria, i don't remember the website. again, 100% free.

google earth gives you real sattelite photo graphs, and celestria gives you detailed 3d models of planets and stars with real time motion. on some of the smaller moons you can actually see their orbit.
