Google has teamed up with astronomers at a number of observatories to bring us their latest webapp, Google Sky. Similar to the notions behind Google Maps & Earth, Google Sky provides a way for everyone to explore the universe, whether or not E.T. is hiding in your closet. Unlike traditional telescopes, Google also projects the universe at different wavelengths, specifically x-rays or infrared. So put that rocket ship away and explore the Google way. And yes, Pluto is a planet - Google says so.

But, is that the Deathstar?
