Travel Galaxies

Travel galaxies with Google Sky.


It is amazing to sit at your desk at home with no spaceship or even a telescope and travel the dark and vast universe, hop between galaxies and meet unknown stars.

Tonight I just did that. While sightseeing the world on Google Earth, I discovered a feature I did not know about. The little icon said "Switch between Earth and Sky" on top menu bar of the Google Earth.

Once switched, I instantly travelled to a galaxy known as M101 or Pinwheel Galaxy. This galaxy is 27 million light years away from us, residing in Ursa Major.

Download Google Earth and travel the universe in no time.
