View the Universe

View the Universe,

On this great blog-site you can rotate the universe in 360 degrees .
You can also watch this in different wavelengths amazingly awesome!

You can also click the right mouse button over a random area and watch the constellations..I believe that was not in the help section?

I don't know if you did know about this? If not then enjoy

Thank you for bringing it to my attention, truly an amazing sight...

I always wondered why companies other than Google haven't done something similar, well I hope there are more people willing to put work into those starmaps, eventually we will have 3d versions in the not so far future.

Excellent site thank you.

I noticed in the "far ir" it almost makes it appear to have a mass. It's interesting to observe the universe in such a way. It almost appears to be a sea of "stuff" out there.

I'll be using this site more to get a good look around.

I couldn't get the right click thingy to work?

Love the hydrogen alpha view on this, the X-ray shows up some wierd negitive streaks also...

Great find

That is great, thank you for the reply clarifying that.

That could really help giving me a better understanding of where I'm at in the universe here.

They've always made it sound like space is so empty, but that's not what I see in these views.

This is a seriously awesome thread. Thanks for the link, I love stuff like this.

360 Degree View of our local universe.

That link you replied by is awesome too,great stuff

I'll save the 'use the search bar' for another time, 'cause it's still Awesome a second time around...

Microsoft WorldWide Telescope does the same thing..... just alot better, the zoom level on that site is naff!

www.worldwidetelescope.org...

This is an amazing site! It's like Google earth for space!
It's a bit slow, anyone else getting that? Perhaps it's the amount of traffic ATS is bringing to their server.
S&F!

Is the big cluster of star systems the Milky Way or.....

is that a Huge cluster of galaxies that basically dominates our universe?

I'm not much into Astronomy although I do like to learn about it.

Awesome, love these kind of things, I even own a copy of Starry Night Pro Plus 6, and it's really amazing, you can see basically everything on the Universe, download extra information/update/plugins so you can see even more stuff etc.
You can see the sky from where you live, but clean and without clouds/pollution, create new planets/asteroids, editing their orbits to see what happens (like creating your own universe)...

I advise everyone to chcek it out, it's really amazing.

Chcek this video to see how it is

It's like an google earth for the universe. have fun.

how can you view the universe when we dont even cant even see our entire galaxy? with current technology we can probly see about 0.000001% of the universe....is that what this blog is showing?

Thank you very much for all these excellent links. I am trying to educate myself as well as my boy about what resides our there in the nighttime sky.

oooo PRETTY

Love the hydrogen & x-ray views!
