The "official" Google Sky Maps
So we've been playing around with Google Maps for Sky, as opposed to Google Earth for Sky which has been around a few months longer, since December last year. But yesterday Google got round to releasing the 'official' Sky Maps site. It's pretty cool, and I'm glad I never got round to fiddling with opacity sliders for multiple wavelengths, because they've done it better than I would have done.

Google Sky Map is an interactive astronomy app that turns your phone into a window to the universe. By pointing your device at the sky, it identifies stars, planets, constellations, and galaxies in real time. It’s a simple, educational tool for stargazers of all ages to explore celestial wonders.
