Microsoft launches Google Sky killer
WorldWide Telescope, which is in direct competition to Google’s Sky application, allows users to view images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center and Spitzer Space Telescope.
Using the cursor, it’s possible to roam freely through the universe and zoom in or out as well as viewing the locations of current and past plants and even looking at the universe through different wavelengths of light. Alternatively, make use of a guided tour which features a number of different narrators.
"By combining terabytes of incredible imagery and data with easy-to-use software for viewing and moving through all that information, the WorldWide Telescope opens the door to new ways to see and experience the wonders of space," said Bill Gates.
