In this video, Talcott discusses how to use Astronomy.com's interactive star chart — StarDome. It's an easy way to navigate the sky from anywhere on planet Earth, at any time, and on any date. You get a graphical view of the sky and detailed information on more than 2,500 stars, planets, deep-sky objects, and selected asteroids and comets. StarDome is a Java applet, so to use it, you will need to set your web browser to enable Java content.
