One of the science/math technologies I explored was a software program called "Stellarium." This program provides a simulation of the night sky and allows its users to hone in on any stellar body or object, from galaxies, to planets, to star clusters, etc. "Stellarium" also allows you to view the night sky from any hemisphere at any time of day. One feature also allows you to see all of the 88 constellations as well as their corresponding mythological figures superimposed over the group of stars that comprises that constellation. It is an enjoyable program that uses impressive graphics, real time images, and numerous tools and features that enable you to come to a better understanding of numerous scientific and astronomic concepts.
