Google Sky Map

This is undoubtedly one of the coolest free apps you can download. Just launch Sky Map, and point your phone to the heavens (or any direction at all, really).

For the most mind-blowing results, you'll want to be outside at night, but it'll work during the day, too. You'll see a map of the constellations, planets, and Messier objects that currently occupy the portion of space at which your phone is currently pointing. The app will even point out meteor showers while they're happening.

Now you can find out, in more detail than you probably wanted to know.
