Google updated the Sky Map Android application this week. One new feature, dubbed Time Travel, enables users to travel through time to view the sky as it looked in the past or it may look in the future. Users can also speed up time to view events like eclipses. Google also added multi-touch; which gives users the ability to easily zoom in and out or to rotate the display with devices that support multi-touch input. (via Google)
