As you said, Stellarium is not a website, so that's why I didn't include the program in the list. Same goes for WWT. In my opinion, all these websites have great information and features. If someone is actually turned off by it all, maybe astronomy isn't for him. Hey, AndyK. As you said, Stellarium is not a website, so that’s why I didn’t include the program in the list.

And to see the sky, there is no better software than Stellarium. I know it's not a website, but it's clearly superior than GoogleSpace as far as getting to know the sky above you. Too many times have I opened this software, and walked into my yard to look at the night sky! www.stellarium.org I am very very very disappointed by this article. For any budding astronomer, who wants to actually view the sky, all the above sites is like presenting a huge encyclopedia of knowledge infront of them. This will most like turn them off and result in them completely giving up astronomy. Anyone who wants to learn astronomy, needs to see the sky.
