Worldwide Telescope project


Worldwide Telescope project


Worldwide Telescope project is undertaken by Microsoft with the help of telescopes all around the globe and those telescopes orbiting in space. New content is added frequently and data from NASA is added too.
This project is an effort to construct a gigantic map of the universe. The Microsoft Research has collected astronomical data from scientists all over the world to build a 3D model. There are more than just images  it packs real information which will be useful to students.
The Worldwide Telescope is now available only in desktop, but a mobile version will be available soon. It runs in a browser and requires silverlight. It also has a Windows client.
