WorldWide Telescope

If the origin of the universe has always fascinated you, and you would like to get a clear picture of it, then you should try this application. WorldWide Telescope is a software developed by Microsoft that displays the astronomical sky using images taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and other 10 earth-bound telescopes and satellites. In other words, you will be able to explore the universe using the same data that NASA scientists use.

WorldWide Telescope allows you to explore the universe, and shows detailed information about planets, stars, galaxies, asteroids, and many other stellar bodies. The program even features an interactive virtual guide that will take you on a tour to the most fascinating places in the universe. Most of the images can be seen in different spectral ranges, from radio to gamma. If astronomy is your thing, this software is perfect for you.
