This gal/fella/blogger has a pretty good roundup of the top five Virtual Sky Simulators that are available for free online. I used Stellarium when Mary Pat and I were living out in the country last year and it was impressive. I would switch it to the low-light setting and take my laptop out onto the porch and look up and see exactly what constellations were swirling above us. The coolest part was choosing the mythology overlay, which superimposes the Greek and Roman gods and figures on top of the stars. Good for aiding that post-modern imagination of yours, decidedly lacking in such flights of fancy.
