Whether you want the world or just a tiny corner of it, Google
Earth gives it all to you. You can twirl the planet like a globe
and turn it every which way. Once you're done tossing the planet
like a Hacky Sack, zoom in for a better look at what interests you.
The images--none more than three years old--show every landmark and
every urban center in exquisite detail. You even can find your own
house.
In August 2007 Google added an interactive Google Sky element to
Google Earth. This update to the program allows you to switch from
Earth mode to Sky mode by selecting View>View Sky. In Google Sky
mode you to get up-close and personal with over 100 million
galaxies and 200 million stars. As Google did with Google Earth,
Google Sky is made up of stitched photographs of the heavens pieced
together to make a one giant navigable database of the
universe.
