Just wanted to let everybody know that the new version of Google Earth released yesterday has a Google Sky feature that lets you explore the Universe. There are a lot of blogs and videos turning up that show how this works.
http://earth.google.com/tour/thanks-win4.html to download.
I'll get the new version installed on the GIS workstations ASAP. Likely the UNITY version won't be updated until Winter break at the earliest, however.

There are actually several open source and/or free applications for sky exploration out there. (And plenty that you can buy, if you're so inclined.) A good recent summary is here. Obviously, this one has the advantage of using software already familiar to people.
