Microsoft WorldWide Telescope

Science educator Roy Gould and Microsoft's Curtis Wong give an astonishing sneak preview of Microsoft's new WorldWide Telescope -- a technology that combines feeds from satellites and telescopes all over the world and the heavens, and weaves them together holistically to build a comprehensive view of our universe.

Peeps better check out the HD video here but be warned, speeds are 50k/s~ as it's under the digg effect at the mo! :/

Microsoft have really got this "put lots of images into one image" thing on track, like that photo thing they had a while ago (forgot what it was called

)

Sea Dragon, looked good with the Notre Dame preview, but I haven't heard anything about that type of thing for ages...
Will take a look at the vid now, I like these things
