World Wide Telescope

Google Earth is all well and good, but why limit yourself to just one small planet? Check this out.

Microsoft created this site which is a virtual representation of data taken from the most powerful telescopes in the world. It allows users to navigate remote corners of the universe and get a visual experience of systems, stars, and planets.

The other day I posted something or other about social implications of technology. Will this one change the world, and if so, how?
