Witness the power of the fully operational Microsoft WorldWide Telescope, as Roy Gould and Curtis Wong walk the audience at TED through this stunning software effort. Some experts say that the WorldWide Telescope, which puts together terabytes of information from telescopes all over the world to make a seamless rendition of the entire known Universe, will change the way we?the normal humans?understand the cosmos.

Yeah. Google Earth already does this.

From the people that have seen it (*cough* Scoble *cough*), it's the most beautiful thing ever and caused him to shed a tear.

Personally, I can't wait. MS is doing something extraordinary!

Now, if only there could be some sort of integration with Spore.... Hm.
