Comments on: New Google Earth 4.2 Beta (with Google Sky!) http://googlesightseeing.com/2007/08/22/new-google-earth-42-beta-with-google-sky/ Why bother seeing the world for real?

It was so awesome to be able to do a quick scan of what's out and then go outside and actually see for myself or go back afterwards and find out what I was looking at. Don't fret, guys. There are lots of things Google Earth couldn't do at first; hopefully this is just the first step of many to come.</p> To see what Google Sky is trying to do, check out a program called Starry Night.

Oh well, I live in a city anyway, lol. http://www.heavens-above.com has visible satellite predictions that are dead on as long as your location's correct. It would be cool if they would team up with google and integrate that feature into Google Sky.</p> Wow, you guys totally got me pissed off (angry, you Brits:) ) that my telescope is broken again.

Use your imagination with Taurus and Auriga.</p> <p>The amount it zooms though when you type in the name of a constellation is too much though. You have to zoom out a long way.</p> There’s a snail in the sky! Use your imagination with Taurus and Auriga.

The amount it zooms though when you type in the name of a constellation is too much though. You have to zoom out a long way.

Go to www.sky-map.org and you will see that what Google has just announced already exists in web-based version for about a year. We have SDSS, IRAS, and H-Alpha surveys integrated in our system and we have 100s of millions of objects mapped. Only for HDF we have > 10.000 galaxies mapped. We also have articles related to hundreds of thousands of objects and many features that Google doesn’t have. We would be happy to find a way to cooperate with Google. Here are some links: Hubble Ultra Deep Field: http://www.sky-map.org/?img_source=IMG_all&zoom=13&object=udf Horsehead Nebula: http://www.sky-map.org/?object=Horsehead Nebula&zoom=9&img_source=IMG_all&img_borders=1 M45, The Pleiades: http://www.sky-map.org/?img_source=IMG_all&zoom=7&ra=3.772&de=23.948&img_borders=1 Thanks, K.
