Re: Google Sky

I was looking at Google Sky the other day, zooming in here, there, and everywhere, and kept finding Unnamed Galaxies. Either Google hasn't bothered to name the Galaxies (they're the bigges objects in the known universe, you'd think they'd be named) or they haven't been discovered yet.

On a side note you can get pretty good pics of stars.

My guess is that they are identified. Weather they are given a name or a number I’m not sure. I don’t know which extraterrestrial objects are assigned names.
