Google takes over the universe. Say hello to Google Sky, Moon & Mars

Google MoonForget Google Earth, that’s soooo last week.  A quick search for Sky, the home entertainment provider, and i got a ppc ad from Google promoting, their new Google Sky service.  All the data is taken from the Hubble telescope and it works in the same fashion as Google Earth but also guides to you points of interest if you haven’t got a clue where to start.  But why stop there? 

Checkout Google Moon and Google Mars with data taken from NASA, you can now explore where the Apollo missions landed amongst other things.  The really cool thing is the built in search function in each of these services. 

I recommend you try it out but be prepared to be sucked in to spending loads of time looking at stuff a’la Google Earth.  The only question is which planet is next?
