I'm pretty sure she was refering to your post count total, not commenting on any discussion of Google Earth or Sky.

Go back 20 years and show this to the president, and he'd have you hauled away for being an alien invader. And they would probably zap you with electricity.
But anyways...I am a member of my school's astronomy club, and GoogleSky is going to become an integral part of any discussions or presentations from here on out.
I especially like zooming in really close to pretty things (M101, M51, for example) and then slowly zooming out. It's exhilarating.

The more you pay, the more you can do (like operate a research telescope), but if you really need to know where something moving is in the sky, you go here.Posts: 1757 | Registered: Oct 2004

I don't know if it works this way, but I imagine Google Sky should have the ability to be continuously updated with new images.
I mean, I've never really been into Google Earth or Google Sky, but isn't that what they do? Like, I can I go and see last night's eclipse?

pooka: no, they do not do that, and there would be no way not costing quite a lot of money (probably a couple orders of magnitude more than they spend on the projects now, maybe even more) to do so.
