Worldwide Telescope & Hubble

I’ve stumbled across a new site (or new to me) called www.WorldWideTelescope.com An idea spawned from that brilliant little company we like to call Microsoft.  The download wasn’t half bad… took a minute or so.  And the concept is simply amazing.  You can be taken on guided tours by astronomers and educators from some of the country’s most famous observatories and planetariums.  You can choose to roam about on your own if you get bored with the tours, can zoom in close on Nebulas, a Snowflake Cluster, Messier 82 and many other interesting digital images.  It’s worth trying, even if you choose to delete the 2.6kb program afterwards.  If I can’t provide you with beautiful pictures today, damnit; another good site can!

Also…pictures taken with a lens a tad stronger than mine.
