The new Sky feature for Google Earth looks amazing, nifty, and just generally awesome. And hey, Sally Ride thinks it's cool, and who are you to disagree with Sally Ride? That's right, NOBODY. While this video's dialogue leaves, um, a little to be desired, the images are still pretty rockin.
Anyway, there are great KML's here, especially the Best of the Hubble. God, I love Hubble. It's also just amazing how you can just view the sky, that you could ordinarily see only out in the desert with a telescope -- it's blurring the line of what is seeing "for yourself". If you can only see it by looking through a tube that bounces light around and refocuses it for you so you can see something new in "real life", is that really so different from that light going through the tube, being captured, then that image being bounced around the planet until a dump truck stuffs it through your internet tubes?
Well, yeah, it is, but less so!
