"The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a rich visualization environment that functions as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space telescopes in the world for a seamless, guided exploration of the universe.
WorldWide Telescope, created with Microsoft's high-performance Visual Experience Engine™, enables seamless panning and zooming across the night sky blending terabytes of images, data, and stories from multiple sources over the Internet into a media-rich, immersive experience"

It is still not operational. It should be out as an alpha version in several weeks. Can't wait! This comes at a weird time...as I'm actually waiting for my new telescope. WWT revolutionizes astronomy. Should I have thought twice before ordering a telescope...
