Want to Explore the Universe?

This is an exciting project that will become available later this spring. The World Wide Telescope. Using Microsoft's Visual Experience Engine "the WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a rich visualization environment that functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space telescopes in the world for a seamless, guided exploration of the universe."

For a wonderful demonstration and some further explanation take a look at Dr. Roy Gould's talk at this year's TED talk.
