I explored the Google Sky to see if I can use it for my Astronomy course. The tool is sill under development, so it's not as sophisticated as Google Earth. We can not navigate to get anywhere we want to go as we can with Google Earth, and the map is not 3-d. Instead, it's a huge collection of beautiful pictures of the universe, including different constellations, galaxies, planets, etc. , which serves well as visualizations of different objects and phenomena in the universe. I look forward to seeing more happening with this google tool. It could be very useful for any level of study of the universe.
