Worldwide Telescope, now with more Mac

wwtWorldwide Telescope has just been updated with a browser version, so now everyone can gaze at the heavens with telescopic detail. It’s not as smooth when zooming and scrolling as the installed program, so I would still recommend installing the full version if you can, but it does have most of the features of the full version. I think it’s amazing that you can even run WWT in a browser. Highly recommended.

WWT KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Zoom on a point –  double-click mouse
Zoom in/out –  mouse wheel
Scroll around –  click and drag mouse
Info –  hover mouse over object
Finder Scope  -  Shift and click on object
Rotate View –  Command/ Control + click and drag mouse horizontally

Visit Worldwide Telescope and click on the web client to explore…

UPDATE:
Gas & High Skies tours added to Worldwide Telescope
