Google Sky added to the new Earth version

The new Google Earth 4.2 (beta) version now features Google Sky.

Google Sky added to the new Earth version Google is often criticized that the the company have started to pay more attention to the bottom line, rather than their users, raking up profits higher than any other Internet company. But here is yet another great tool added, which seems to have no money avenue - Google Sky.

The new beta version of Google Earth now comes with a nifty button, which allows you to switch the Earth upside down and see images of more than one million stars and 200 million galaxies. Add-ons allow users to explore images from the Hubble Space Telescope, as well.

The clear images of the cosmos are a welcome tool to many amateur astronomers who live in areas where the air and light pollution makes it almost impossible to observe the skies. To use the new Google Sky all you have to do is download the latest Google Earth version. Go get it at http://earth.google.com/
