Looks like a long video and I'm only looking for a momentary distraction from the tedious and repetitive exercise that logic homework is.

May I have a c0r summary?

:conf:

Is Microsoft using this telescope to spy on me?

LOL. No. It's an application that seamlessly integrates images from all sorts of different telescopes, giving you the ability to navigate smoothly and zoom in on different parts of the universe. Basically like a "Google Earth" for the night sky.

This application is a must need for atronomy enthusiasts like myself. ONe day our species will be able to do this physically but for now we can only do it digitally and in simulation.

Google Earth also has something very similar to this, but I suspect this one will be much better.
