...and it's quite cheap :). Download the latest version of Google Earth and follow these instructions:

In Windows, if the combination CTRL+ALT+A does not work, try CTRL+A or CTRL+Windows Key+A

Have fun! :P

Hahaha nice tool... though most of the time im flying over blurry terrain cos my internet connection is rather slow, after you circle around a place several times and let it cache, it looks really nice...

I told my dad about this, since he loves astronomy. He reccommends that you should search (in the sky view) M13 (Messier 13), which is a globular star cluster in Hercules.

I'll give you some other things he reccommends you should see (oh, and of course, M31 - Andromeda Galaxy);D
