Google Turns the Telescope Around
Not content with allowing us to stare down at our homes and offices from the heavens using Google Earth, Google now bring us Sky, which essentially turns the telescope around and points it at the rest of the universe.
By downloading the latest version of Google Earth, you now can get Sky, Google’s eye on the universe, with it.
Download it and you’ll be able to zoom in on more than 100 million stars, 200 million galaxies, our solar system's planets and our moon. You can also see constellations and high-resolution images from the Hubble Telescope.
Sky also features a search function that allows instant viewing of specific astronomical features.
Check it out.
