Visual Experience Engine™ and allows seamless panning and zooming
around the night sky, planets, and image environments. View the sky
from multiple wavelengths: See the x-ray view of the sky and zoom into
bright radiation clouds, and then crossfade into the visible light
view and discover the cloud remnants of a supernova explosion from a
thousand years ago. Switch to the Hydrogen Alpha view to see the
distribution and illumination of massive primordial hydrogen cloud
structures lit up by the high energy radiation coming from nearby
stars in the Milky Way. These are just two of many different ways to
reveal the hidden structures in the universe with the WorldWide
Telescope. Seamlessly pan and zoom from aerial views of the Moon and
selected planets, as well as see their precise positions in the sky
from any location on Earth and any time in the past or future with the
Microsoft Visual Experience Engine.
