Today was my first full day at the AAS meeting in Austin. I spent the whole day with the Google Sky team at the well-appointed Google room at the meeting. Google Sky launched some new features today, and gave some very well-attended presentations about how it works and how to use it for research and education. With the Sky team and with many AAS members, we discussed Sky and Earth imaging, adding content with tools like Astrometry.net, making PNG images from data, and, inevitably, the OLPC XO, which I brought along.
