Let the sky is your limit...:) With Google Sky, you can explore hundred millions stars and galaxies within your computer!!
The proper way to install Google Sky is by using .deb package. But, since Google doesn't provide any .deb package for Google Sky, why don't we make one..:) its simple..:)

1. First step, download and install latest version of Google Earth

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/g/googleearth-package/googleearth-package_0.3.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i googleearth-package_0.3.2_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

2. Now, we create new package,

make-googleearth-package

3. Install the package

sudo dpkg -i googleearth_4.2.180.1134+0.3.2-1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Very simple isn't it? Go to Application>Internet>Google Earth. Press the Sky button and discover your stars..:)
