If you are Google Earth’s user and also stargazer, here is some good news for you. Google Earth 4.2 now launched with built in sky map feature. This ad-on, named Google Sky, can bring the view from Earth of the Sky on your monitor.
Imagery for the system came from six research institutions including the Digital Sky Survey Consortium, the Palomar Observatory in California and the United Kingdom Astronomy Technology Centre. Although much of the imagery can be found through searches on the internet, Google hope the add-on will be simpler and more fun.
Google Earth can be downloaded freely at http://earth.google.com. It is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux platform.
This is screen capture I made for Google Earth 4.2 (on Windows platform). It shows Christmas Tree Cluster which I have mentioned here on several days ago.
