Ed Jameson of the Natick High School Planetarium uses Starry Night
on a Mac and he loves it.  He uses it in the planetarium!  I bought
Starry Night Backyard for the PC and I love it.  I tried several different
programs and for teaching science I liked this one the best because I
can fly off the earth in 3d and look down and see the terminator line and
fly over to the moon and see the earth moon sun from different prespectives.
