  • cwarm, on 02/28/2008, -0/+0I can't wait to check this out!
    • wageslaven, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1I concur, my sister is a Science Teacher at a highschool in Ontario, Canada.

      I showed her this and she nearly fell over. She's very certain she'll be using this in her courses, and her peers will be excited to see its capabilities -- and its price:

      Q. What will WorldWide Telescope cost?
      A. Microsoft Research is dedicating WorldWide Telescope to the memory of Jim Gray and is releasing WWT as a free resource to the astronomy and education communities with the hope that it will inspire and empower people to explore and understand the universe as never before.
