Whooooooa, duuuude. This is awesome! Microsoft has a program (and website) devoted to bring the universe to your computer screen in a fluid, moving, accessible way (for free!). Super cool!

Did you download the telescopy thingy too?

I downloaded one of the tours and it was cool. Have to do more when I get some time. This could become addicting!!

I took 2 years of Astronomy in college so - this gives me a warm fuzzy feeling I just love so much. I've only been going to the NASA website and getting pics here and there. This is just oh so much all put together nicely...and free?? e x c e l l e n t.
Really- thanks.

Great teaching tool as well, eh?

Try space.com, too. It could be a good teaching tool..... but probably for older kids. Glad you're having fun (grin).

I used to visit space.com at least once a week and then...well, it faded.
Maybe I should start that up again!
