Google Sky and Slooh bringing live Astronomy

For some time now, Google Sky (See here: <a href="https://www.google.com/sky/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Sky</a>)
has enabled users to view a wide range of imagery from high-level sources like the Hubble Telescope, NASA satellites, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

But the service has never provided a method for users to view community-created imagery, or to participate in the viewing of live events like eclipses.
Until now.

On Friday, Google announced a partnership with Slooh, a New York company that offers the public Internet-based access to a global network of observatories, and a diverse and constantly growing collection of telescopic viewing and photography "missions."
