The latest version of Google Earth has a very interesting new feature: Sky. With it, you can see the sky as you would from any point on the Earth. To be able to make this work, Google put together over one million photos of the sky from various sources, which means that it’s, um, pretty detailed, and that you can zoom in to see those 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies.
To try out Sky, simply download the latest Google Earth.
I can’t wait to see the mashups people are going to build with this thing.
*Update: it’s activated by opening Google Earth, and clicking on View - Switch to Sky. Screenshots below.

Ya, I just read about this on business 2.0, they didn’t mention you could get it from Google Earth though. I am downloading it now to try it out. The screen shots look cool though!
