We are all well known about Google Earth and its capabilities. I was amazed when I use it for first time. Same case happen today, I got a telescope in my computer, it was really wonderful to make a virtual tour of the space. I had never hoped, I will see moon, stars and planets from every angle i like, through my own telescope. But I did it today. WorldWide Telescope or WWT as it is called has been released by the Microsoft Corporation for the public to download it and use it.This is akin to Google Earth and can be used by anyone to explore the sky, in a same way as the astronomers do.
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.
This combines the best of the Land based and Space based telescopes to give you the very best of outer space experience. It just looks like Google Earth and functions as Google sky. It has high performance Visual Experience Engine™ and allows seamless panning and zooming around the night sky, planets, and image environments. View the sky from multiple wavelengths: See the x-ray view of the sky and zoom into bright radiation clouds, and then crossfade into the visible light view and discover the cloud remnants of a supernova explosion from a thousand years ago.
If you are eager to make tour of sky you can download Telescope from the link below.
Have a nice journey to the space........................
