Off Topic... a recent study suggested there could be as many as 300 sextillion stars

Great program. My previous astronomy software isn't compatible with Windows 7, not to mention this is actually much better. Lots of details for the night sky watcher.

I have both Stellarium and Starry Night Pro. Stellarium is better than Starry Night Pro in many ways and it's free. The nice thing about Stellarium is that it works with Linux too. I have a net book with Stellarium installed in Ubuntu that I like to take out into the field with me. The night vision screen comes in very handy as well making it easier to see deep sky objects. Stellarium rocks.
