Google product manager Lior Ron posted on the Google Earth and Maps team blog:
“Zoom into distant galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years away, explore the constellations, see the planets in motion, witness a supernova explosion; it’s like having a giant, virtual telescope at your command; your own personal planetarium.”
