Microsoft Research labs have developed an amazing visualisation tool to observe over 4 Terabytes of astronomical data from telescopes across the world - its called World Wide Telescope. It was announced at the recent TED conference this february with huge applause. This could change the way astronomy is viewed by many - especially the young.
