What are some cool programs like google earth and stellarium?

I am looking for a couple new programs to toy around with. Do you know of any? I dont care much for earth quake programs.

Google Sky is fun to play with. If you have an Android phone, Google Sky uses the compass and accelerometer to allow you to point your phone in any direction and see what stars and planets there are in that particular direction:

Try Starry Night Backyard( this is like stellarium).
JHelioviewer (solar watch, downloadable software version from helioviewer).
Simsolar( solar system simulator).
