World Wide Telescope?

[laura_seabrook]

Kevin walks in and says "Microsoft have done something good!" And he pointed my browser to Microsoft Research WorldWide Telescope, which Kevin described as "Google Earth in Reverse". I went to the "experience it" page and there was a flash movie entitled Kids React to WWT with the following image:

The first time this loaded and I ran it nothing happened, just the static picture - 'that good?' I thought. In fact I thought of a multitude of captions for this image:

Kids react to...
                      ...the new budget;
                      ...the American elections;
                      ...the current season of Big Brother; and
                      ...et cetera.

Haven't tried the program yet. I've downloaded the 20 mb file (you need Nett Framework 2.0 to run it) but haven't installed it yet.
