Excesshuman discovered 4 months ago- Holy shits,...Didn't blog this at first but now after a week or so.. like so many people(?) like to copy and paste some link words to this new Microsoft product. All I can say is um... google earth cosmos view babies, already here and ..like the exact same thing (am I wrong). I love that google does this and rolls it out quietly as a product upgrade, whereas microsoft races to catch up and announces their (not working program) like the second coming of Christ. LoL

- Usually I'm not a fan of Microsoft but their WorldWide Telescope has great visuals. Check it out!

- I remember seeing a WWT presentation at Yuri's Night 2008 outside San Francisco. It was presented right after a demonstration of Uniview, which made WWT look incredibly anemic. However, for free software... hell, for software that we mere mortals can even have unrestricted access to, it is extremely competent.

- The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope--bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe.

- All in all, extremely impressive. Intuitive navigation and stunningly beautiful pictures make this worth trying.

- Beautiful pictures, nice interface, multiple views. Amazing project from Microsoft. And it's free! If you like it, you should visit on-line projects with similar capabilities - Google Sky (http://google.com/sky) and WikiSky (http://wikisky.org)
