Google Lat Long Blog: Google “announces the launch of the web version of Google Sky, which turns your browser into a virtual telescope that can zoom and pan across the entire cosmos. You now have several ways to easily explore the universe:

• Powerful search that lets you browse tens of thousands of named objects.
• Three optical sky surveys that show you what your naked eye would see if it had a really good zoom lens. Try switching to infrared, microwave, ultraviolet, or x-ray to see the sky in a completely different light. Or blend between these views to create unique visualizations on the fly.
• Galleries highlighting the best images from Hubble and many other telescopes.
• Current planet positions and constellations.
• Overlays of custom KML content. (Simply paste a Sky KML URL into the search box, just like on Google Maps.)
• Last but not least, the Earth & Sky podcasts gallery is not to be missed, particularly for those who run a classroom.”
