There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

Down load "stellarium", it shows a nice true simulation
of the current sky, and make finding things easy.

No maps, but the planets are easy to find, and any planetarium program
will give their positions.
