Microsoft To Announce WorldWide Telescope On February 27 | |
|

| Time: 00:29 EST/05:29 GMT | News Source: TechCrunch | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

A source close to Microsoft says the company will launch new desktop software called WorldWide Telescope on February 27 at the TED Conference in Monterey, California. Our guess is that this is what Robert Scoble was talking about last week when he said he saw a new Microsoft project that brought him to tears. The service will be accessed through a downloadable application - Windows only for now is what we hear. Users will be able to pan around the nighttime sky and zoom as far in to any one area as the data will allow. Microsoft is said to be tapping the Hubble telescope as well as ten or so earth bound telescopes around the world for data. When you find an area you like, you can switch to a number of different views, such as infrared and non-visible light. | ||

| doubtful as they said, the item he was talking about was not ready for release to the public it was just a research in development... this sounds like a product, and microsoft research as the team head said... doesnt announce products it releases research ... so i'd say cool app but doesnt sound like what scoble was referring to. |
