In the newest version of Google
Earth, you can view
both earth and sky.
To view stars, planets,
constellations and more, click
the Sky button, or go
to the View menu.
A view of the sky above your
current location will appear.
Once you see the sky, you can
navigate just as you do
elsewhere in Google Earth.
Mouse over the navigation
controls to make them appear,
and you can rotate,
pan and zoom.
You can also use your
scroll wheel mouse
or keyboard to navigate.
The Layers panel contains
additional content that you
can hide or display by checking
items or folders.
You can see constellations to
find your way around the sky.
Images from the Hubble Space
Telescope are overlaid on the
sky, and clicking on their
placemarks opens balloons with
further information.
The Planets layer uses the time
slider to animate the
planet's orbits.
Download the latest version of
Google Earth to explore the
planet and far, far beyond.
