Google maps: now in Lego.

After releasing a “quest” version of Google maps for April fools day (where everything was in 8 bit), Google now have a lego version where users can build their own Lego structure for the world to see.

Land in BuildWithChrome is allocated on a first come, first served basis, and once a structure is published it can not be changed. It’s kind of a tame version of Minecraft, which if you’re into, you can check out here.

Based on HD 189733b’s distance from its star, which is cooler and smaller than the sun, astronomers calculated that the temperature of the outermost region of the planet’s atmosphere should be around 2,240 degrees Fahrenheit (1,227 degrees Celsius).

But by using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at the University of Texas at Austin to take a direct measurement of the hot, or excited, hydrogen in the atmosphere, Jensen and his team pegged the temperature at a whopping 468,000 degrees Fahrenheit (260,000 degrees Celsius), more than 10 times hotter than expected.
