miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 Newspaper bloopers can be real funny, but I haven't seen one of the likes of this in ages... The Nation, one of leading English dailies of Thailand reported today that ... Google Sky launches Bobby Johnson, technology correspondent. Apparently, The Nation was supposed to run this syndicated story on the launch of Google Sky, written by Bobby Johnson. Seems like they were mighty impressed with Johnson and decided to launch him instead Here's a screenshot... Incidentally, the latest version of Google Earth (v4.2) has been dubbed Google Sky because of the inclusion of a "virtual telescope" that allows you to observe the night-sky in all it's glory. Exploring star constellations, viewing planetary motions or supernova explosions is now just a mouse-click away.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 That would be awesome if google did do that, however, being the astronomy nerd that I am, google sky would be huge in terms of GB and not MB of data. I would say 1/2 of 1% of the sky thats been explored is a few hundred Gb of data to store, thats unless they don't put the galaxies and all that other good stuff.

trinifawk 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Google has been expanding so much recently, that it's getting crazy. I wonder when they'll start charging for their services? Bobby Johnson? That's funny. But props to google never the less. Their empire will continue to grow because of the convenience of their services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
