Google launches Google Sky



Google, Inc. has launched its latest free tool, Google Sky, which allows users to view the sky from their computers using a satellite imagery-based mapping software. The tool educates users about various celestial bodies such as stars and planets and includes images from sources like the Hubble Space Telescope. The new software also helps users view planets in motion and witness a supernova phenomenon. The other programs provide information and pictures of the universe. Google Sky was developed at the leading search engine's Pittsburgh engineering office.
