[tweetmeme]Spotted this on TIME.com today. The web version of WorldWide Telescope made it as one of the 50 Best Websites in 2009. The website, which is driven by Microsoft’s Silverlight technology, is the browser version of the client application we helped design in collaboration with Curtis Wong and his team. We’re really excited to see this news and hope that more people get to experience astronomy in an immersive way.
WorldWide Telescope allows people to dig deeper into space with high resolution imagery of galaxies and stars without requiring powerful telescopes. It also includes guided tours that walks through different systems and images across the sky for people who are just getting started with astronomy.
So congrats Curtis and team! We can’t wait to see more from this project.
