Google has released a browser version of Google Sky, which was previous available on Google Earth application. Google Sky’s interface is a lot like Google Maps, you can zoom, click your mouse and drag to move around the universe or even get URLs for linking deep space objects. Just like how Google Maps has three different views (traffic, street view, satellite), Google Sky has Infrared, Microwave, and Historical viewing options.
The assignment of building browser-based version of Google Sky was giving to Latin America Code Jam, Diego Gavinowich. Some fellow Googlers shared their 20% of the time with Diego and were able to pull off Google Sky within three months. Here’s brief video tour of Google Sky:
