This is rather interesting.  Apparently Microsoft is going to release Google Earth backwards on Feb 27th.  Meaning that instead of zooming and panning in on Earth you will be able to do the same with cosmos!  This should be quite interesting.  It is reported that they will use 10 Earth bound telescopes as well as the beleaguered Hubble telescope to produce an explorable cosmos for your desktop.  It will be interesting to see how they deal with distance for the stars as this is always been the major problem for astronomers.  More details here.
