Ok, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time - an interactive Star Viewer that combines Google Earth & Hubble telescope images, as well as constellation outlines & satellite locations - you know, just in case you wanted to see if your "Men in Black" TV signal is ironically bouncing off Orion's Belt or something.You can click on the list of galaxies to the left to zoom in on them, check the boxes at the top to show different features, and of course pan & zoom using the standard click-and-drag or navigation bars to get around. There are also some embedded videos. The one thing that seems to be missing is planets, but I may just not have found them yet (my geography is pretty iffy, even in spaaaaccee).
Enjoy!
