Microsoft WorldWide Telescope is a virtual telescope program that allows users to view the starry sky in multiple bands, as well as the surfaces of planets in the solar system and the sky in x-rays. Data for the programme are provided by the Hubble Space Telescope and some other telescopes on the Earth's surface.
