Google Earth Sky

I just found a very interesting thing you can now do with Google Earth, look at the stars! I don't know how many of you have used Google Earth before but I highly recommend it and it's even better now you can look at all the constellations (which I am going to learn from it). I think you can also view some of the galaxies in the universe but I haven't quite worked out how to do that yet!

The website is at Google Earth

Enjoy!

RE: Google Earth Sky

Yes I have got that. It is really amazing. The flight simulator is really fun as well.

RE: Google Earth Sky

There is also quite a fun flight simulator built into Google Earth. I think it is found by pressing ctrl-A but I'm not certain on that. It can be a bit of fun if you have some spare time!

Yes, I mentioned that in my post.

The chortcut is Ctrl+Alt+A I think. I have recently purchased a joystick, and that makes it a whole lot better!

RE: Google Earth Sky

Ah yes, that's right. A joystick would definitely help, I was finding it difficult not to go into spins when I tried it with the keyboard!

RE: Google Earth Sky

A good way is to hold the shift button while turning, and this puts on the rudders. If you just use the arrows, the plane will tilt, and sometimes barrel roll into the ground.
