Google Earth - Turned 180 degrees


I've enjoyed scanning areas around the planet on Google Earth. The new version (4.2.0180.1134 (beta)) gives you something more.

When you select "View Sky" it lets you do the same sort of zoom and pan on astronomical images, mostly from the Hubble telescope. (Click on the photo shown here.)

There is also a feature that puts the planets in motion, allowing you to watch how they will move over the next three months.

I've only started exploring, and I'm in severe danger of wasting many, many hours on this.
