World Wide Telescope introduced at TED 2008


The World Wide Telescope uses the web to allow people to navigate through the universe pictorially. It is a creation of images from many different telescopes all woven together. It will be available in the spring and is located at www.worldwidetelescop.org. The picture to the left is the "first light" image from the Large Binocular Telescope of the galaxy NGC 891.

View the video introducing it at TED 2008.
