Think you can make a "space tourist", walk, reach headed space stars, hear the whisper, and can take time and space shuttle, the universe has concentrated in the blink of an eye.
Meteorites, planets, stars, nebulae, black hole ... Are you the "attractions", developed by you, the audience gave a line and click, you can learn about these celestial bodies of knowledge.Now, Microsoft research and development of the "world wide telescope" technology will be the magical fun, entertaining, personalized universe roaming, placed on your desktop, all up to you to Director.
It's as simple as making slides, ten minutes to teach yourself getting started, no technical threshold.Based on this technology, Microsoft Research Asia, National Observatory, Astronomical Society of the universal joint Working Committee recently launched the first "Microsoft Cup" competition, making the universe roaming encourage you design your own universe, led the people close to the charming universe and mysterious space, perceptual awareness network age astronomy and resource utilization of the new mode.
Your need is for the sky Shining stars of love, and design cool Cosmos roaming enthusiasm and perseverance.World wide telescope — bringing me roaming "your universe"
Roam the universe — the technology vector "world wide telescope" (the WorldWide Telescope, hereinafter referred to as the WWT) is a Microsoft research and development of a virtual telescope.
Since May 2008 since the first public release, has been coming from the world of professional and amateur astronomers downloaded millions of times.WWT is first set of data based on a large number of authoritative astronomical telescope.
It is the world's largest telescope, Observatory, detectorsof observation data gathered together, including NASA's (NASA) Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the Chandra x-ray Observatory, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and so on. It is reported that China's Guo shoujing telescope (LAMOST) data, you will in the near future in WWT. At the same time, based on astronomical amateurs photographs and observation data, WWT's database is constantly expanding.Secondly, the WWT is a set of participatory, interactive, displayed in a telescope.
Roaming through the Wizard (GuidedTour, hereinafter referred to as roaming, the production process is similar to the slide, play effect similar video clips) of production, you can design line, their own interpretation, score, in simple universe roaming on the individuality of the element. At Microsoft Research Asia 10 anniversary Summit, the Chinese version of the WWT debut. At this Summit also demonstrated the great Chinese characteristics of WWT Wizard roaming "Chinese Valentine's day — the Chinese Valentine's day". The roaming coupled with Chinese characteristics, classical music, the first shows the universe Galactic, Altair, Vega, and with animation, the overseas audience popularity of this legend in Chinese household.In addition, the WWT is very easy.
Any person who, from a trained astronomer to a wet behind the ears of the child, can be used to tell the WWT roaming moving story. A 6-year-old boy creation of WWT roaming – the ring Nebula (M57) is widely praised. 6-year-old little Benjamin to describe this beautiful ring Nebula, he said: "in the clear night sky, when I looked, I saw it. I would like to take you around the ring Nebula ... Wikipedia says that it is also called M57, I don't know what it is meant, but I think it is like a treasure in the sky. …… Information that it has 2300 light-years distant Vega ... It is a star at the end of life, leaving the site. At this point, these stellar release a lot of gas, but different gas release different heat, is green, Orange, blue, red, these different colors. "The thaw aesthetics and knowledge integration, edutainment roaming, is a wonderful journey.6-year-old little Benjamin, took us to appreciate the treasures in the sky: the ring Nebula
From the astronomy enthusiast magazine 2008 first introduced to the WWT national wide amateur astronomers, WWT has gradually come into people's vision, gradually sprouted.
In 2008, Microsoft Research Asia 10 anniversary Summit Forum, the Chinese version of the debut. In 2009, Microsoft Research Asia and National Observatory and other units together to plan the Organization of the "international year of Astronomy 2009 Solar Eclipse Live multi-channel joint activities, has also been a great success.WWT in 2008 has launched the Chinese version
You can also try to use WWT mock 2009 July 22 in Shanghai to watch the solar eclipse in this process with simple steps to complete.
You can also choose the observation place, viewed from different angles, if you select or solar eclipse setIs the Eclipse band sites, you will see a simulation of a solar eclipse scenarios; if you set of observations is not in totality in band, the simulation of the astronomical phenomenon; if the location selected from Eclipse zone too far, the moon will rub shoulders with the Sun.Simple operation, powerful professional data and display capabilities, so astronomers and amateurs can be buckled in WWT, focus on.
WWT for astronomy and education and outreach work have particular significance.
For a commitment to science education and popularization of teachers, WWT is loyal and efficient Assistant to help you enhance the interaction, and dramatically improve teachingquality, let students accepted knowledge while also actively participate in your curriculum, interactive learning, teaching and learning. "Interactive journey that lead from the wizard at any time at various times of the roaming can stop, self-study, and then start. Students can click on their interest in the Galaxy ... You can move freely around the sky, you can let the field gets bigger, smaller, and view the surrounding environment. You can also right click, online viewing Wikipedia, and other resources. "Use the WWT LisaDettloff's teaching is excited to introduce to. Lisa from United States California Science teaching experts, she saw the technology to stimulate students ' enthusiasm and fully satisfy their endless exploration of passion, of great value.If you are not satisfied just to watch, you can, of course, as a big Hollywood directors, do it yourself, through all the slides, add sound, a picture, shape, select the line, you can even set up their own "machines", select the camera angle.
Each slide, you can also choose the length of time played. Of course, the movie is good or bad, attendance to measure and WWT Wizard roaming end can also vote on scoring, watching it on the audience much help. If you feel just a bit normal audience, WWT can take you to the abstract in the universe, a feast for eyes.WWT is teaching for astronomy and astrophotography exploration of the universe, providing new ways and opportunities.
In order to let more people understand and use WWT powerful features and services, experience the latest in modern technology in our life learning, Microsoft Research Asia, National Observatory, Astronomical Society of the popularization of China, central China Normal University, Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, the amateur astronomers magazine, Beijing Normal University, the Chinese National Astronomy magazine sponsored and organized the "Microsoft Cup" competition, the universe roaming making competition also by the National Science Foundation's support. As the contest's sister event, the "Digital Sky Astronomical education and Training 2010" will be held August 1-3 June, allowing high school teacher of astronomy, science and Technology Museum, the children's Palace of natural subject teachers learn how to use the WWT, making roaming case as astronomy teaching tool.Based on the WWT's universe roaming, represents a trend, a universal digital scientific trends.
The amateur astronomers Magazine describes the WWT's astronomy GS-WWT era ", in introducing this threshold is low, and the interactivity of a new platform, but also anticipate the Astronomy of the arrival of the Internet in the digital age. “ …… One of the greatest achievements is much easier and current these astronomical data information interaction. Astronomy for amateurs of digital or professional astronomer is a change in a turning point. Internet type of service also let more fans to participate in professional astronomical research, such as Galaxy Zoo (GalaxyZoo) attracted many enthusiasts to help astronomers to SDSS survey observations of millions of galaxies. ' SETI @ Home ' and ' @ Home ' Einstein is everyone is familiar with examples ... To bring a new astronomical data access and share modes will allow more people to enjoy the charms of the universe and thus stimulate interest in science, prompting them to leave from the screen to see the wonderful into personally observed in practice. ”We are so fortunate to sit in the open era to the nationwide di
gital Science Express, this summer, let us witness, feel, and even extended it's charm, make it on our life, to learn way to produce meaningful change.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
