Microsoft Research: World Wide Telescope [WWT]

CEans,

How many of you know that Microsoft Research has launched World Wide Telescope software?

I guess its worth a try [only if your system supports it]

Here's what Microsoft says about WWT : -

The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope—bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe
What say?
