RSS FeedGoogle Sky Shines on Browsers Worldwide
Now you can look at the universe in a whole new way! Google has launched its latest project: Google Sky. With this new tool, you can explore the universe right from your computer. Similar to Google Earth, all you have to do is enter a name or coordinates and Google will display a current image of that constellation, galaxy, planet, etc. From there you can pan, zoom, or refine your search. You can even look at the sky with different wavelengths including x-ray, infrared, and microwave to see how different areas light up at different wavelengths.
These images come from some of the largest astronomical surveys and even the Hubble Space Telescope. To top it off, you can get access to podcasts about upcoming astronomical events and you can take an even closer look at mars and the moon with mars.google.com and moon.google.com. So no matter the weather or distance, now you can enjoy the beauty of the stars whenever you want. Check it out at www.google.com/sky/
