Microsoft boys have done something pretty amazing. The worldwide telescope project! It even made Mr. Scoble cry! If you haven't seen this I would suggest you see it now. Well, that is if our outer space mystifies you like it does me! The best video I found is from the TED conference. Much better than what MS put out. Which isn't surprising.

And a good quote from Scoble.

I cried because I realized just how much work, money, and all that went into making these images. I never had access to them before. Certainly not in this way so I could compare them by clicking a button. As a taxpayer who’s helped pay for some of these telescopes it’s the first time I’ve seen the results of my and your, investments in our scientific research.

Amen brother!
