In this way, Google Earth has expanded its domain from Earth to the Sky.
The application gives which stars make up the constellations, shows users what they can see from their own homes with the naked eye or small telescopes and also has images from the Hubble space telescope. It also shows the moon phases, the positions of the planets today and up to two months in the future, gives virtual tours through different galaxies and enlists the different stages of a star's life cycle.
According to astronauts, this is a great tool for satisfying the curiosity of anyone who has ever looked up at the sky and wanted to have more. This new program will encourage more people to learn about space. Because of this, first in the human history, such information has been readily available. Anyone interested in understanding the wonders of our universe can see where the objects photographed by Hubble actually lie in the heavens.
Sky in Google Earth will foster new understanding of the universe by bringing it to home computer. The navigation and interface of the new feature are similar to those on the current function allowing users to drag, zoom and search.
To access the new feature, users have to download the latest version of Googel Earth from the website from 23 August 2007.The Google engineers have created this application by stitching images from the Space Telescope Science Institute and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
