Google Sky Map
Google does more than just internet searches and email – it also has an impressive number of mapping tools, such as this one, which allows you to take a virtual tour of the solar system. By joining forces with astronomers at some of the world’s largest observatories, Google has created a superb rendering of the galaxy that can be explored on an Android-powered phone. Simply point the camera at the night sky and the application automatically identifies which stars are which. You can also search for specific stars and planets. Educational, addictive and free
