Despite the fact that the topic of space is now very popular, the real person (albeit technically advanced) has little knowledge about our Universe. Of course, astronomy popularizers are trying to fix this situation.
It is clear that reading books on astronomy, albeit entertaining, will not be all - that time is not enough, then desire. But there are other ways to attract those interested: for example, with the help of an interactive application, you can engage in the study of astronomy, basic concepts, not only fans of the science of the universe, but also ordinary geeks.

Not so long ago
, an interesting web application appeared on the Web that allows us to interactively study the space around us: stars, planets, man-made satellites of the Earth, and everything else.
In this study can be carried out without a telescope, modern technologies allow to do this. There is a sky map, with various objects hidden among the stars and planets. There are also various ways to study the sky: X-rays, radio waves, visible light.
Directing our tool to a certain part of the sky, a small circle, we can find various objects that are not visible in one spectrum, and are visible in another. At the same time you can find planets, stars, planetary nebulae, Supernovae and all the other inhabitants of the Universe, with a detailed description of each object, by the way.
Unfortunately, all this is in English, but interactivity will help to cope with those who do not know English.
And yes, here is another
link to this application , maybe someone can make an analogue in Russian?
