(2004) and convert the color images to Google Earth compatible images using wcs2kml (Brewer et al. Based on the co-added images, we created color images in a way as described by Lupton et al. It provides the deepest images based on SDSS and reach as deep as about redshift 1.0. The SDSS co-added data are the co-addition of 100 scans of images from SDSS stripe 82 (Annis et al.
To have higher resolution images, you need to add your own images in a way that Google Earth can understand. This is partially because the major imagery google earth used is from Sloan Digitalmore » Sky Survey (SDSS) (SDSS collaboration 2000) and the resolutions have been reduced to speed up the web transferring. However, the resolution of the images provided by Google Earth is not very high. By encoding the galaxy cluster information into a kml/ kmz file, one can use Google Earth as a tool for examining galaxy clusters and fly across them freely.
Google Earth (in sky mode) provides a highly interactive environment for visualizing the sky.
We provide a Google Earth compatible imagery for the deep co-added images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and make it a tool for examing galaxy clusters. Flying across Galaxy Clusters with Google Earth: additional imagery from SDSS co-added data
