Virtual Planetarium Skymaps
Your Sky lets you produce sky maps for any time and date, observing location, and viewpoint. Terrific! Each map you make includes an ephemeris for the Sun, Moon, planets, and any tracked asteroid or comet.

Playing with numbers or, there's hope
I liked an electoral map a friend emailed me and posted about yesterday as it hit the very disappointed feelings I had after the national election.
