Google Sky

By Marziah Karch, About.com

Definition: Google Sky is a feature of Google Earth. You can use this to view a map of the stars in the night sky. Sky is activated by clicking on the Sky button on the top of the Google Earth application window.

Sky uses featured layer content, and you can search for constellations and other heavenly bodies by typing keywords in the search box, just as you can search for addresses in Google Earth.

Google Earth can be downloaded at earth.google.com.
