Google Launches Google Sky

Who needs a telescope when there's Google Sky? You can now view galaxies and stars from your browser without the need of Google Earth, the application that this tool previously required. Take a look and let me know what you think. :)

Google Sky

In case you're wondering, you can now search the skies, browse a constellation, change the video between infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, or x-ray, see historical data, and access a podcasts gallery among other cool tools.

Forum discussion continues at Search Engine Roundtable Forums.

Had a hard time using it. Seems like it's a database versus something live. Needs more data.
