Google Sky

Google Sky

The tool I am using is Google sky. What this does is take the tools from Google maps and point them upwards into space. Most of the data from Google sky comes from photos of the Hubble telescope.
This can be used fro science teachers for an interactive way to show their students the vastness of space. The advantages of this tool is that it can view space in historical, in-fared, and constellations. The only disadvantage is that some of the images of the nebula's are distorted because of the different magnifications of Google Sky. This tool can be used for science teachers as well as Astronomy teachers to show their students. I personally love this tool and could spend days looking at the different constellations.
