   WorldWide Telescope (55 Mb):

   Description:
   "WorldWide Telescope (WWT) enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope. For example, you can zoom in on the surface of Mars and explore the planet's landscape in 3-D rendered views".

   The database of images is stored online, so Internet access is required to make the most of the program.

   Wow, this is cool Idunno. thanks for posting details. :) You need Netframework 2.0 for the application to work; (see below for links to the v2.0 versions). If you don't have Netframework installed it will prompt you to install it and also provides you with a download link to Microsoft. That takes you to the v4.0 of Netframework. When I installed v4.0 it still asked for v2.0. You can find the link to v2.0 to the top right of the v4.0 page (or alternatively you can download one of the three versions via the links below). You have the choice of 32 bit and 64 bit as well as the IA64 bit versions.

   You may also require Windows Imaging Component (WIC). Again, you'll be prompted to download if you don't already have it installed.

   :)

   p.s.

   I hope the above makes sense, lol
