And Now: GOOGLE SKY!!!
And Now: GOOGLE SKY!!!
About Google Sky
Quote:
Traveling to the stars has never been easier
To help you explore the far reaches of our universe, we have teamed up with astronomers at some of the largest observatories in the world to bring you a new view of the sky. Using Google Maps this tool provides an exciting way to browse and explore the universe. You can find the positions of the planets and constellations on the sky and even watching the birth of distant galaxies as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope.
We are particularly excited about the ability to view the universe at different wavelengths, to see how it would look if our eyes worked in the x-rays or infrared. As you explore these new layers, play with the transparency to blend between the different wavelengths and see how different parts of the universe light up at different wavelengths
If you are interested in what's happening on the sky tonight or over the next few months then check out the podcasts from Earth and Sky or search for the position of your favorite planet.

It's cool, it's Google related. I wonder if I can sponsor Pisces on Google Sky? Mars was brought to you by Halliburton?

This is exciting. No need for us to buy telescopes to see the stars in the sky =)

Nice, but it would be nice if they added some educational mouseover information for those stars. It's just a picture otherwise for those who don't know.

Well, if you've got any property for sale by Sigma Draconis or Fomalhaut, get it up there!

I think this is really cool. I keep hearing the Age of Aquaris song in my head! As far as the stars go they already sell stars you can name after someone. Wonder if they need a website for that star?

Really neat!
I see a very faded watermark that doesn't appear to be Google. Anyone know what it is?
