Hi,

I am a newb interested in prehistory: I'd like to gaze on night skies of 5000 years ago, is this possible please?

I already have Space.Com 'Night Sky Explorer' but this only gets me back to 200 BC.

Please advise.

Many thanks ;)

Old skies, old program! Runs happily under XP and earlier, not sure about Vista or Windows7. Epochs from -30000 to =30000.

Try SOLEX http://chemistry.unina.it/~alvitagl/solex/

I'm using Stellarium at the moment which is fantastic -

but!

when will someone bring out a Stellarium-Google Earth hybrid so that we can relate heavenly phenomena to a tolerably accurate virtual horizon please?
