Micro-scope

Microsoft's Telescope

This is another huge step in the potential of the global-wide-web. We are able to look at pictures and videos of tiny microrganisms, and now being able to pan far reaches of space is a giant leap.
The article does also mention something about terabits. Understanding the measurements of these giant projects also creates a better appreciation for these particular advances. Creating a better understanding of these projects creates a more engaged audience (aka: ourselves as students). How bout that, a real world use from these major classes already! But on a more serious note: what an opportunity for the average person to be able to generate a globabl citizen thought process! I have a theory. I think that, if more attention was put, this "simple" program could do some global good. Putting yourself in perspective with the Earth and how, comparativly, small we really are.
