Worldwide Telescope

Twirling galaxies, exotic nebulae and exploding stars are now just a mouse click away for amateur astronomers. 

Microsoft has launched WorldWide Telescope, a free tool that stitches together images from some of the best ground- and space-based telescopes.

This project is very exciting for those of us who love the exploration of the universe and the cosmos.
