Stellarium is fantastic. It's great for identifying stars and planets from Earth. I love the overlayed constellation art.

You should also check out http://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html). Instead of looking into the sky from Earth you can actually travel through space and look at lots of pretty shit. I have trouble using it because I'm agoraphobic and it fucks with me. Hold ctrl and pull the mouse back and watch as Earth vanishes and you leave our galaxy.

The only problem is that the stars and galaxies are positioned as they look from Earth and not as they actually are.
