A FUNCTION in Google Earth now lets you see the night sky in all its glory.

It's very hard to see the stars in many places on earth these days because the darn light we're generating drowns out anything but the brightest objects.

Unless you have one of those fancy telescopes that cuts through the so-called light pollution.

The tool lets you switch between earth and sky, and watch the colure in all its glory. ยต
