Google Sky is finally there
Since Google Mars maps and moon one came out, and as Google had already been in collaboration with NASA, it was no wonder it was only a matter of time and the Google Earth will not be a valid name anymore. Google Earth already launches with top view of earth. And while Microsoft is still struggling to get people to use it’s own clone of it, Google Earth now allows you to fly away into space with Google Sky. Just download the latest version of Google earth and you are out there on your own. Enjoy the video on the same page also while downloading.

So can you see what the sky looks like from a specific point on earth? Coz that would be kinda kewl, that way you could look up and point at specific stars and know their names and stuff.
Kroms: You said it. Programmers like laziness :)
Morbid: As some snapshots and video shows, you can see the universe from far away, go to different galaxies and stars. Ofcourse the whole universe is not covered yet (or not anytime soon :)).
Also, to go the space view, you have to click a button on Google Earth. So it’s not actually zoom out from Earth and you will see space, no. You click a button to switch the view. It would be much cool ofcourse if we can do the zoom out thing :)
So now I can explore the entire UNIVERSE from my coach. Laziness is so me it’s terrifying.
It’s purttyyy :O
