Description:
The WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that will allow you to use your PC as a virtual telescope by bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world to provide you a seamless exploration of the universe.
You may choose from a growing number of guided tours of the sky by astronomers and educators from some of the most famous observatories and planetariums in the country. You may also explore on your own -but you may stop the tour (with multiple information sources for objects at your fingertips), and rejoin the tour where you left off. Alyssa Goodman Astronomer at Harvard can take you on a journey that shows how dust in the Milky Way Galaxy condenses into stars and planets.
You may also take a tour with University of Chicago Cosmologist Mike Gladders two billion years into the past to see a gravitational lens bending the light from galaxies allowing you to watch billions more years into the past.
WorldWide Telescope is created using the Microsoft® high performance Visual Experience Engine™ and allows seamless panning and zooming around the night sky, planets, and image environments.
View the sky from multiple wavelengths: see the x-ray view of the sky and zoom into bright radiation clouds, and then crossfade into the visible light, view and discover the cloud remnants of a supernova explosion from a thousand years ago. Switch to the Hydrogen Alpha view to discover the distribution and illumination of massive primordial hydrogen cloud structures lit up by the high energy radiation coming from nearby stars in the Milky Way. These are just two examples of the many ways to reveal the unseen structures in the universe with the WorldWide Telescope. Seamlessly pan and zoom from aerial views of the Moon and selected planets, as well as see their precise positions in the sky from any location on Earth and any time in the past or future with the Microsoft Visual Experience Engine.
WorldWide Telescope is a single rich application portal that blends terabytes of images, information, and stories from multiple sources over the Internet into a seamless, immersive, rich media experience.
Microsoft Research is dedicating WorldWide Telescope to the memory of Jim Gray and is releasing WorldWide Telescope as a free resource to the astronomy and education communities.
