WorldWide Telescope
From what we hear, WorldWide Telescope will be significantly better than Google Sky which launched last August as part of Google Earth, and the open source Stellarium (which is hugely better than Google Sky already). The key is the user interface, which is seamless as you move around the sky and zoom in and out. Much of the Photosynth technology is said to have been used for the project. And the sheer amount of data Microsoft is accessing, said to be measured in the terabits, gives that great user interface something to show off.

I like sharing.![]()


google sky doesn't require as much resources as this does, granted this does look more detailed but most school computers would be unable to run such a program.... So microsoft has made gazing at the stars better for rich kids in rich schools....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012


Well I know some of the schools around here are stuck with donated computers and are mostly celeron or P3 700s few ever get above 1 gig and most have minimum memory. Hopefully the reqs are over stated and the schools can use this cause it would be a great tool. I love wandering about in Google Sky....I can't wait to get home and give this a whirl....
