- scott12087, on 03/14/2008, -3/+288If you select solar system and then click on Earth, it takes you to Google Maps. How is this supposed to help me find Earth in my telescope? Stupid Google!
- masfenix, on 03/14/2008, -8/+192Is it just me, or is filled with bugs? (computer programming glitches, not real bugs)
- breckinshire, on 03/14/2008, -0/+134This uses old data, I found Alderaan.
- MikeonTV, on 03/14/2008, -7/+118Nice. I'm putting my rocket ship away!
- Aazlain, on 03/14/2008, -3/+98The year 2620 can't come soon enough…
Fry: "Hey, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus." *laughs*
Leela: "I don't get it."
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all."
Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?"
Professor: "Urectum. - acatzr800, on 03/14/2008, -0/+81umm no dude its clearly a rectangular nebula
- HCviolence, on 03/14/2008, -13/+91One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords
- Cubedude04, on 03/14/2008, -8/+84http://www.google.com/sky/#latitude=-59.6247140931 ...
What the hell? - Innisskillin, on 03/14/2008, -4/+78I'm just glad I didn't get rickrolled when I clicked Uranus.
- listrophy, on 03/14/2008, -4/+630_o And I thought Google Maps zoomed in. Daaamn.
Zoom all the way out, then pick a spot and zoom in. Repeat ad nauseum. - jmk4422, on 03/14/2008, -3/+55That's BS, Tatooine doesn't show up.
- LiquidIse, on 03/14/2008, -2/+40A google service not in beta? Shenanigans!
On a more serious note, this is going to be very cool. - DisposableRob, on 03/14/2008, -3/+36It's too far, far away.
- ZionicIon, on 03/14/2008, -5/+37What were you expecting? Did you think google would have the entire milky way mapped in 3D?
- twertyto, on 03/14/2008, -2/+34I seriously thought before I clicked on the story that this would be an Onion article. Google sky would be 1000s of blue sky images with an occational cloud.
- jbellny, on 03/14/2008, -8/+34Truly an embarrassing effort when compared to what I've seen of the WorldWide Telescope.
- mickstephenson, on 03/14/2008, -5/+29Nope, Its full of stars!
- Narcism, on 03/14/2008, -2/+26Heard you and buried you the first time...
- MagnumVP, on 03/14/2008, -4/+27Kudos to still having Pluto as a planet.
- inactive, on 03/14/2008, -1/+23The Death Star!
http://www.google.com/sky/#latitude=25.97131744729 ... - DisposableRob, on 03/14/2008, -4/+25You get Goatse'd, instead.
- vsmak, on 03/14/2008, -1/+22Pluto lives!
- MrSidnet, on 03/14/2008, -1/+22People do that with alcohol all the time.
- hadak, on 03/14/2008, -2/+22This doesn't "feel" like a Google product. It's missing tiles, and isn't nearly as refined as Google Maps.
- MellerTime, on 03/14/2008, -1/+18That's the point - this isn't Google Earth, this is Google Maps. No software download required...
- purezero, on 03/14/2008, -2/+19My God... it's full of stars!
- inactive, on 03/14/2008, -3/+19No imagery available at this zoom level. Try zooming out. Weak.
- Ben174, on 03/14/2008, -7/+22I'm extremely unimpressed.
- twertyto, on 03/14/2008, -3/+18Sorry for comment abuse but there already exists a similar system. It's called SkyView
http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/
It has a better resolution and you can see the sky in other wavelengths. Select Non-astronomers page. - kidcodea, on 03/14/2008, -2/+17emo
- swizzcheez, on 03/14/2008, -1/+16celestia is still my favorite on this stuff... http://www.shatters.net/celestia/
- SSUK, on 03/14/2008, -2/+17Have you tried spinning around on an office chair? It's fun.
- Aeuta, on 03/14/2008, -2/+16There is a Open Source program that does it better. You can even view the sky as it is right now (http://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium). But again that requires a download...good job Google
- kidcodea, on 03/14/2008, -5/+18they cant even upgrade fukin youtube quality to at very least 720p...
- davidrools, on 03/14/2008, -2/+14an intelligent designer, perhaps?
- scrag10, on 03/14/2008, -0/+12I found Xenu
- vuke69, on 03/14/2008, -2/+14Asstronaut?
- SSUK, on 03/14/2008, -1/+13It's no longer cheese. Shame, it was rather funny.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 03/14/2008, -3/+15Hopefully this will help people wake up to the fact that we need to support space exploration.
- DharmaTurtle, on 03/14/2008, -1/+13Official trailer/teaser of Google Sky (Not a rickroll):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX9MeF2Au9c - FreddieD, on 03/14/2008, -3/+14And too long, long ago.
- jpetrides, on 03/14/2008, -1/+12yeah, it really sucks. Google is no longer a silicon valley startup - they are a market leader, so I'm surprised that they let this crap get out. I can't zoom in anywhere without one of the boxes being dead. It's incredibly buggy on my 'puter.
- Dongvid, on 03/14/2008, -3/+13There's no directions on it? Damn, now I really wish I got the GPS in my flying car.
- cornelje, on 03/14/2008, -0/+10and now the second time
- revjustin2, on 03/14/2008, -2/+12All 6 of you.
- revjustin2, on 03/14/2008, -2/+11You mean they can't do this?!
- username7D8, on 03/14/2008, -2/+11Its the Borg cube, resistance if futile!
- revjustin2, on 03/14/2008, -2/+11I hope this will help people wake up to a steaming plate of waffles.
- yojiffyskippy, on 03/14/2008, -2/+10Shopped!
- chewbacca77, on 03/14/2008, -2/+10Actually, if its far, far away, what we see is necessarily long, long ago.
