Microsoft Comes Out With WorldWide Telescope

Some are calling the Microsoft WorldWide Telescope the best thing to ever come out of Microsoft's enormous R&D work.

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.

WorldWide Telescope, created with Microsoft's high-performance Visual Experience Engine™, enables seamless panning and zooming across the night sky blending terabytes of images, data, and stories from multiple sources over the Internet into a media-rich, immersive experience.

Microsoft WorldWide Telescope will be unveiled in Spring 2008.
