worldwide telescope

this new thing from microsoft called the worldwide telescope is pretty analogous to the amazing photosynth project. this time they give us views of space. they describe it like so:

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.

calling it "worldwide telescope" actually minimizes what it does. interstellar or universal would be better names, imho. the video is really amazing and worth checking out.
