Geody Space ( http://www.geody.com/?world=space ) added support for Microsoft WorldWide Telescope: now you can search for a star anywhere in the sky, and see it on Microsoft’s tool (besides Google Sky and NASA WorldWind SDSS)

Awesome thanks for the tip I just tried it out, and on my way stumbled across some weird images with WWT. I’ve made a tour here:

Is there no way to run this thing in full screen? Disabling the tabs and such helps, but I wish I could just Alt+Enter and enjoy tours in full screen mode.

Hi Long, could you link to the screenshot you edited to a wallpaper? (Step 4)

in a time when we start to use xaml to create custom interfaces, i’m not sure that applications have to be that much more consistent than web sites are. all thats necessary is that they be designed smart enough with enough common cues and conventions that users can understand them; and of course some visual and procedural integration is nice; but everything doesn’t have to look like an exact clone of everything else.

Yeah, MSFT is quite consistent in creating inconsistent-looking application. I think it was the shipping seven blog where I’ve read that there are several (4?) departments or whatever doing the same thing: UI. Displaying buttons and textboxes to the user. Tha native API, WPF, Windows Forms and something else…

And after looking and screenshot no. 2, I am not really sure wether it really is the same thing as WMP. Look at the checkboxes.
