Do the dots below look familiar? Well, if you're any kind of ETH proponent, they should. It is an image of the neighborhood surrounding Zeta Reticuli and it was captured from a nice piece of planetarium software called Stellarium.

Stellarium takes a little bit of horsepower on your computer and the user interface takes a bit of getting used to, but it is certainly hard to argue with the price (free!). You can download it from here:
