| web-based Google Sky search not working? | Charon | 7/30/12 3:05 PM | Can anyone confirm that Google Sky search isn't functioning at all? It's not working for me either using names or positions.

| Re: web-based Google Sky search not working? | Charon | 7/31/12 4:55 PM | I've had two other people independently confirm that yes, Google Sky search is dead. Still.

| Re: web-based Google Sky search not working? | Daniel.M | 8/2/12 3:06 PM | One more question, when did you first experience this issue with Google Sky? |
| Re: web-based Google Sky search not working? | Charon | 8/3/12 10:29 PM | I first noticed it this Monday (July 30). It was working when I was originally writing the assignment last week (I think as recently as July 27). |
