Hey Rom, you have to check this out, Scoble was raving about this a week ago. 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. I wish Carl was still here to push it as he would have been the perfect person to announce it!
The website is http://worldwidetelescope.org
the free software will be available for download later this year.
The TEDs announcement is here:
