I had a chance to see this at Microsoft’s Tech Fair (I forget the name of the gathering) which was for MS people to see their own products. I was BLOWN AWAY by the ability by anyone to see pretty much anything the largest telescopes can see…and all by clicking on a galaxy, a star, a nebula. You name it: you can see it in a very large way.

It comes out in a couple of months. Can’t wait!

The TED video is here: http://www.ted....lks/view/id/224

Note what the astronomer says. Totally disagrees with #7. I wonder who is more credible? An anonymous commenter or an astronomer who actually knows something?

Video is up on Ted.org, I’m not blown away and I’m not crying. Whoop-de-do. Only mildly slicker than Google Sky.

I find stuff like EarthSim far more impressive.

Go ahead and call me a paranoid cynic, but Scoble’s original hype said that you had to see it to believe it. Okay so he’s a geek and can be forgiven for getting excited over what 99.999% of the world’s population would say ’so what’ to.

This combined with Scoble’s *clear* need for forgiveness and the constant non apologizing apologist remarks from a *former* employee of the world’s largest and most devious marketing organization all too clearly with obvious inside communication channels.

Ever play connect the dots as a child?

I’ve seen it, way better than Stellarium already. The multi-survey look at a region that Scoble talked about is kick-ass, and I suspect will have research impact too. Even though I’m usually a google fanboy, this is one place where google dosent even hold a candle to the other offerings.
