Google Sky was already a feature of desktop app Google Earth. Now it’s moved to the browser at sky.google.com. The Google Lat Long blog and Google’s press release list the features of this new service:
- Zoom and pan the sky, like with Google Maps
- Link to any particular place
- A search box which expands results if something is found
- Different views to switch to, like infrared or microwave
- Best-of galleries with imagery from Hubble and other telescopes
- A podcasts gallery
- The ability to overlays KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, similar to Google Maps and Google Earth
Google since some time also offers special maps sites for Moon (Google Moon) and Mars (Google Mars).
