Google Sky
Mom was the art teacher at the school I attended. Every year she organized an inflatable planetarium to be sent to the school. After it was packed full of air, it was packed full of kids who would sit on the well worn plastic. They would listen with undivided *cough* attention as the cosmos was projected onto the inside of the bubble. The best part was the ability to see the connections between the stars to actually see what the constellations looked like.
Later I found some pictures of the Hubble Deep Field, which I still can't quite comprehend.
This is all leads me to http://www.google.com/sky/ which lets you search for you favorite star (did you know the middle star in the big dipper handle is a double star?), or get a glimpse of the Milky Way, or see the Horsehead Nebula.
