At the Ted Conference taking place this week, Microsoft’s World Wide Telescope was introduced. The World Wide Telescope is a virtual telescope that can be used to explore the astronomy of the universe. For science teachers the World Wide Telescope will be a great resource for classroom use. The program is not available yet, but will be soon. The World Wide Telescope will be available as a free download this spring.

Here is a video of the World Wide Telescope being introduced at the Ted Conference.
