Google Sky Map Updated to 1.6 to bring Time Travel and Multi-touch

Google’s been on a bit of an update spree, lately, and their Sky Map application for aspiring astronomers is the next in line. Version 1.6 brings with it a feature called Time Travel: Google’s giving you the ability to watch the sky as it has looked in the past and as it will look in the future. Pretty amazing stuff to cram into an application so small, if you ask me. It also brings with it multi-touch support so you can pinch-to-zoom and do away with those pesky magnifying glasses. Go ahead and update it now by going to the Downloads screen in the Android market, or install it if you haven’t already by scanning or touching the QR code below (or by searching for “Sky Map” in the Android market.)
