Google Earth Now Displays Real-Time Weather Conditions

Through a partnership with Slooh, Google brings an extraordinary feature to Google Earth and  by adding some features of space exploration in real time to its Google Earth application we can now enjoy real time weather all over the world.
Extending the capabilities of this software and released last Friday by the U.S. giant and  made possible through the integration of technology for recording images of the area of Slooh and the global network of robotic telescopes in software Google. Indeed, Slooh is a camera relaying online and live images of telescopes located in Chile, the Canary Islands and Australia.
In this way, users can now explore the limits of the universe in real time on Google Earth (download version 5 to get the new features), while trying to map the celestial objects. For example, users will have access to the images captured by the Hubble Telescope and other NASA satellites.

Interested parties can even remotely control telescopes Slooh, make screenshots and tag them using their ID Slooh. These images are then automatically shared with other users on Google Earth.
In addition to providing images of Slooh, Google will also broadcast live on its site information sessions in astronomy, in order to cover special celestial events like eclipses.
To date, 420 project participants of Google Earth and Slooh took 1.4 million images and mapped 4257 celestial objects. Registration is required to obtain access .
Google Earth provides images of the universe since 2007, but the images are not commensurate with those of Slooh.
