I hesitate to recomend a google app here, but there is google sky map. Point your tablet/phone at the sky and it shows you what your looking at (assuming you let the evil data vampire know where you are!).

Not sure if they are still using it, but we did see that once, stellarium is also a good package as that allows you to view the solar system from different places so see what earth looks like from Mars, or What Pluto looks like from Neptune.
