Google Sky service launched

Google has announced the web based edition of Google Sky application which can now be accessed straight from the web browser.

Till now, this feature was only accessible from their Google Earth software application.

Google product manager Lior Ron spoke about this new service in a blog post: “Sky in Google Earth, which launched last August, was originally available to our 350 million Google Earth users. This release brings the universe to every browser and makes Sky accessible to just about anyone with an Internet connection — from school children to professional astronomers — in 26 different languages.”

This service was initially developed by Diego Gavinowich as part of the Google’s Latin America Code Jam.
