A free program launched today will effectively turn every computer that downloads it into a mini-planetarium capable of displaying high resolution images of millions of stars, planets and other celestial bodies.

The project, called the WorldWide Telescope (WWT), is the result of several years of hard labour by a small team at Microsoft Research, the software company's key R&D centre.

For you astronomy buffs... This looks pretty cool. Unfortunately not for OSX... yet (unless you run bootcamp)

They just talked about it on G4 and reminded me about it.
