Worldwide Telescope

A few weeks ago celebrity blogger Robert Scoble wrote that "Microsoft researchers make me cry" but couldn’t tell us why.  It turns out its the World Wide telescope.  The telescope really is not a literal telescope - it is a marvel of integrating information from telescopes throughout the world in a way that astronomers can have a much richer view of space that is bordering on a 3D virtual reality.  I saw a demo that had us zip zooming in that feels like Electronic Arts produced it but it has the scientific integrity of Johns Hopkins.   Check it.  The inventor is Curtis Wong who is a researcher with Microsoft.  It will be a downloadable application for the PC.  I look forward to flying to Pluto soon.
