The starry sky above me...

I have been looking for some astronomy program that could be used as a study support for the Scriptures, that is a program that would embed several different constellation lores (Egyptian, Babylonian apart from the obvious Greek one).
Stellarium is the obvious response to that. It's a planetarium (a real planetarium) and allows to trace the sky structure of several cultures, although the Babylonian is missing.
The Worldwide telescope looks inspired by the same ideas that led to the creation of Google Earth. Great images but poor support. At least for the moment.
I shall investigate further the possibility of adding new layers to both.
