The WorldWide Telescope

Microsoft has officially announced the upcoming release of the “WorldWide Telescope”(WWT). Free to download, this program will allow users to view space with an incredible view. The developers of WWT have taken the best and highest resolution images taken of stars, galaxies, nebulae, etc, and seamlessly woven them together to create an incredible fully interactive experience. The WorldWide Telescope will be released this Spring and will be available at http://worldwidetelescope.org
