I used to go to a website that tells you where all the planets are in the sky and I would go outside and look for them. I've seen just about all of them except pluto. But I don't remember the website name.. anyone know of a website thats kind of like this that shows you where they are?? The site I used to go to was called skywatch, skynet or something like that.

Since your interest in Astronomy seems to be an ongoing thing, why not get the ultimate in star charts?
There are some very good freeware programs out there called "Planetarium Programs".
These will show you exactly where all the objects are located in the night sky as seen from your house at any time and on any date.
If you click on any object, the program will even give you a whole bunch of facts about it.
You can also print out the screen to make your own, very detailed and accurate chart which you can take outside with you. As a matter of fact, I just take my laptop outside and turn on the "Night Vision" mode, which cuts the glare from the screen.
One of the most popular ones is "Hello Northern Sky". A google search will find it in no time.
Good Luck!

Japan's tsunami was caused by the earthquake, which is just caused by plates under the ground moving. Its no big deal :-) Also, the only reason they say 2012 is the end of the world, is because all the planets are going to line up. they say that will make a gravitational difference. PSH. liars. Finally, the earth isn't spinning faster. everything will be okay. The world isnt coming to chaos- think about it! these natural disasters happen every year. in our lifetime, the world will NOT come to an end. Hope this helped! :-)

I've used this one to catch Iridium flares.
