Microsoft Corp. has launched its much awaited project Worldwide Telescope which was under research for many years.
WorldWide Telescope knits together images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray, Observatory Centre, Sloan Digital Sky Survey and few more.
Computer users can browse through the galaxy on their own or take guided tours of different outer-space destinations developed by astronomers and academics.
The site lets users choose from a number of different telescopes and switch between different light wavelengths.
Microsoft's Chairman Bill Gates said "The WorldWide Telescope is a powerful tool for science and education that makes it possible for everyone to explore the universe,"
