Hubble Teams with Google to Bring the Cosmos Down to Earth

Imagine cruising the heavens from your desktop and seeing all the
spectacular images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Exploding
stars and faraway galaxies are just a mouse click away today through
Sky in Google Earth. Sky in Google Earth is produced by Google, the
company that hosts the popular Internet search engine, through a
partnership with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore,
the science operations center for Hubble.
To access the new feature, users will need to download the newest

With Sky in Google Earth, you can travel across the vastness of the
night sky, making tour stops at all the popular Hubble images. Though
