Images: Microsoft telescope puts universe on your desktop

Microsoft has released a free public beta of its WorldWide Telescope, which is software that lets both amateur and professional stargazers explore the universe from their PCs. The WorldWide Telescope is a rich Web application that accesses high-resolution images taken by ground- and Earth-orbiting telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. Read Steven Musil's blog for more details.

WorldWide Telescope Brings Space Exploration to Earth

The final frontier got a bit closer today as Microsoft Corp. officially launched the public beta of its WorldWide Telescope, which is now available at http://www.worldwidetelescope.org.

Microsoft Telescope is revealed (on your desktop)

Google Sky was launched in August 2007 and today Microsoft releases its much anticipated Telescope. Telescope is cool to use, but please note that you have to download client code (and this applies even to the "Take a tour" promotional site, which you reach after clicking on "Experience it."). And you have to sign no fewer than TWO EULAs -- first to get the Telescope code and then to install the DirectX runtime package necessary to use Telescope. (This also comes with allowing Microsoft to look for and install critical .Net updates, too). For Google Sky, you simply point your browser to the page and start star gazing.

Explore Deep Space From Your Desk With WorldWide Telescope

Microsoft has released the first free public beta of its WorldWide Telescope, the company's new stargazing application. WorldWide Telescope offers high-res images of the night sky from sources like the Hubble Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center and more.

Microsoft Brings Universe to Desktop

Microsoft Launches WorldWide Telescope

esocid writes "WorldWide Telescope, developed by Microsoft's research arm, knits together images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and others. Windows users (only) can browse through the galaxy on their own or take guided tours of different outer-space destinations developed by astronomers and academics. The application allows viewing from different wavelengths such as X-ray, visible light, and hydrogen-alpha radiation. Business Week has a review and some background on the project, which has been in development for years. Google Sky beat them to the punch but Business Week opines that WWT's interface is superior."
