(Users can get a sense of where in the sky stars were located in the past – or will be in the future – based on their motions measured by Hipparcos. A visualisation of the 'Hertzsprung-Russell diagram', a tool used by astronomers to study the evolution of stars, is provided as well. The tool can be accessed here.)

Get images of entire sky as viewed from a given location at a specified time and date.  Their Virtual Telescope shows constellations and other objects at specified coordinates.

http://www.heavens-above.com:  Get sky charts and satellite schedules as seen from specified locations. This site also gives the time in various time zones/formats (local time, GMT, UTC) https://www.heavens-above.com/constellation.aspx?

https://simbad.u-strasbg.fr: If you want to find more information about a star, Simbad is often a good place to start.  If you enter the position in the position search  you’ll find a list of nearby objects.  If there’s more than one, click on the nearest to your position and you’ll get information on measurements of the star: brightness, parallax (3261/parallax in mas is the distance in lightyears), and spectral type.  With the help of astronomical text books, you can use the last to get an estimate the diameter and mass of the star.  Occasionally those are directly measured too.
