Google Sky

Just when you thought Google Earth was crazy and being able to look at the liscence plate of the car in your driveway wasn't enough, Google took something and made it astronomical, for real. Google Sky allows viewers to see detailed images of photos taken by the Hubble telescope, Mars, the moon and what we know as the sky.

Google Sky chronicles a panoramic of the sky with detail, labeling a describing different gallexies and even directing you to the nearest google search engine results about them. On the moon, each of the apollo landings have been labeled and on Mars a heat sensitive topographic layout of the planet has been generated. As late as I am, Google Earth was Launched in August of 2007 and I still think it's pretty amazing, but see so for yourself.
