Google Sky/space

[Mr Hunter Man]

Hi all,

There is a very awesome new extension from Google Earth. It is called Google Sky. Using this application allows you to view space, You can see and learn about most anything or place in space such as the Andromeda Galaxy along with stars forming. It is really really interesting. I will be fooling around on it for the next few days. All you have to do is goto and click download, or save to desktop then open it to install Google Earth. You first must download the latest version of Google Earth, I believe it is 4.2. after downloading and installing then opening it all you need to do id goto the "view" menu and click on "Switch to Sky" then if there is a place you want to see just type it in in the search bar in the top left of the side menu.

Here is a link to some info and also the download. It even show a little demo to show you what it looks like really quick. Click on the download icon in the upper right corner of the web page following the link below:

This will not effect your Google Earth Plus version of you paid for it, it just updates it, even though it say it is installing a new version, This worried me a bit so I thought I would give you a heads up so you did not have to be weary about downloading it. Have Fun and enjoy viewing and maybe even learn some new interesting stuff about our Universe!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Wishes, Enjoy,

No you will not lose anything, I was worried about the same thing. It is all good. In order to view the sky click on view then switch to sky.
