Google has done yet another leap into the techno-future with their monumental addition to Google Earth, the much touted Google Sky. The big brother-esque utility friendly Google Earth has successfully been one upped with the addendum of Sky. Trekkies and astronomers unite as the worlds of sci-fi and science crash in jubilation over it and it is worth the hype it has garnered. Sally Ride, the first female astronaut, even endorses Sky in a cute video overview about some of its capabilities. Sky is a whopping compilation of all photo-mapping of our universe as we know it scientifically at the present time. To access Sky, get into Google Earth and click on the Sky option.
What exactly does Google Sky do?
* It gives you full access to Earth's Moon, the planets, hundreds of millions of stars, constellations, and two million galaxies.
* Upon opening the Sky option in Earth, you will get a view of the sky directly above your location on Earth. So if you want to get online in Siberia, you will see the Siberia's heavenly bodies.
* Allows you the ability to screen the view with different layers, which can be opened individualy or simultaneously. These layers include: the life of a star, a guide to the galaxy, the moon, the planets, the Hubble telescope, Backyard Astronomy, and the constellations.
* Layers is included in the features category along with the sky view, grid, and red horizon line for orientation.
* Google sky can be searched by the name of the object or the numerical coordinate.
The possibilities are virtually endless for this space odyssey smorgasborg. The astro-illiterate can still look at the pretty pictures and search the sky for their zodiac constellation. If you want an instant portal to the Horse Head Nebula, sky is there for you. If you want to view Alpha Centauri, the closest system that could harbor sentient life, sky is there for you. Sky can even direct you to the famous dog star, Syrius. Syrius appears over the sky during the 'dog days of summer, get it? Even if you aren't really into this kind of stuff this nouveau-tech is sure to inspire nights of random exploring in the anals of man's scientific knowledge.
