In the same way that you search for a city or a road, you can type in a star or whatever and fly to its location. Just for fun I typed in "Nash" and there just happened to be a star with that name. But this isn't just any star, oh no. The Nash Star is part of the constellation Sagittarius (the star is on the most eastern point of the constellation). Useless news for anyone else out there, but still fun to play around with.

Fun with Google Earth
I am sure many of you are farmilar with Google Earth (which can be downloaded by clicking here). The newest version allows the users to explore the universe and see stars, galaxies, planets and constellations (simply select "View" on the toolbar then "Switch to Sky").
