I've kept myself placated with a virtual observatory program for the pc here, which I spend hours clicking, rotating, moving back in time. I like to check out the sky on dates that held meaning to me..lol. It's just points of light on a black background, I fill the rest in from memory (and imagination)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
