What is the Hubble SkyMap?

From science to history, from servicing mission to technology, and from documentaries to human interest stories, NASA had produced a library of informative and interesting videos on the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Skymap puts the night sky at your fingertips any time of day.

How do you know if the sky is changing?

Scroll the sky day by day with the next day button to see that the stars are rising a little earlier each evening. Why is the sky constantly changing? As the Earth rotates on itself, we see the sky scrolling as if we were on a ride: the whole sky seems to turn the hours around a point near Polaris, the North Star (center of the map).
