World Wide Telescope from Microsoft Research

Yet another great app from Microsoft research - World Wide Telescope. 

A project to map out the stars, planets, solar systems and anything not on the Earth. Now it has come out from a client based application to a cutting edge Silverlight web based application.

 

The application is pulling tons of collections from the Worldwide Telescope Community including Constellations, Solar System, All-Sky Surveys, Spitzer Studies, Chandra Studies, Hubble Studies, Astrophotography, Radio Studies, NOAO Studies, Gemini Studies, Messier Catalog, Planets/Moons, Earth (Bing!), Panoramas, and Tours. Each of these selections has a deep rich collection of information within.

 

So, why waiting; go and check out the initial release. http://www.worldwidetelescope.org

here is the Silverlight version.
