How to open Nautilus at current command line directory?

I was wondering if anybody knew a command that would allow me to open a Nautilus (if that's the right name for the Ubuntu graphic/window explorer) window from the command line at the current directory that the user is at.

So, if I open a command line, and type:

cd /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory

Then, I'd like to be able to issue some command:

nautilus open-sesame

And have a graphic window opened to /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory. Is this even possible?

You can type in the terminal:

cd /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory

and then:

nautilus .

The above command will open nautilus in the folder /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory (the period is the current directory)

Or in the Terminal just type:

nautilus /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory
