An old wives tale says that more babies are born during a full moon. For those who are curious as to what the night sky looked like the day they were born, they can now find the answer using Google Sky Map's new time travel feature on Android phones.

"The new version of Google Sky Map lets you time travel to see the sky at a specific date, past or future," Google designer Hector Ouilhet said in a Thursday blog post. "After smooth travel to the desired year, you can fast forward or rewind in various speeds and watch how the sky changes."

Through Google Sky Map, users can also search for different objects in the heavens on different dates. So for the person who might want to know what the Big Dipper looked like on Thanksgiving 30 years ago, Google Sky Map will be able to pull up this archived image.

The updated version of Sky Map is available for devices running on Android 1.6 or higher.

Sky Map was launched in May 2009 on the G1 Android phone. The app syncs with a phone's GPS to pinpoint exact location and provide a corresponding map.

This isn't the only service Google provides that allows users to travel to a different time period. Google recently added historical imagery to Google Earth. With this feature, users can get a better understanding of the effects of World War II in cities like London and Paris, as far back as 1945.

There is also a stargazing component to Google Earth, and last month, Google announced a partnership with Slooh to provide live images from space.
