    Whether you're hunting for data on the M90 galaxy or just feel like a little lunchtime stargazing, drop by WikiSky. You can zoom in on more than 500,000 objects outside our solar system, including stars in the roiling Gamma Cygni nebula. Visitors can browse a whole-sky map, customize the view to show the stars above their location, or switch to photos from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which is charting one-fourth of visible space. Click on an object to summon data such as its position, magnitude, motion, and distance from Earth. The accounts also furnish photos and links to abstracts of papers that mention the object. Users of the site, created by a pair of mathematicians in Canada, can contribute by writing Wikipedia-style articles on astronomy topics or posting their own heavenly shots.

    Here's the perfect toy for all us townies who’ve had our night goggles fogged over by light pollution from streetlamps - WikiSky. It's an interactive map of the heavens, a sort of Google Earth that looks outwards rather than inwards, as it were.
