Google Earth now allows you to explore the cosmos. To enhance your experience of Google Sky we provide the following Google Sky overlays:
- e-MERLIN telescope observing positions
This feed allows you to see where all of the MERLIN telescopes are currently pointing on the sky. Where the information is available, the name of the object will be listed in a pop-up information bubble.

In addition to the updates that we provide, other observatories around the world are starting to provide live observing positions in Google Sky:
